Royal family's two-week mourning period following Prince Philip's death comes to an end

The two-week mourning period for the British royal family following Prince Philip's death ends on Friday.

However, the 95-year-old reigning monarch suggested royal family members would continue undertaking engagements that were "appropriate to the circumstances" in addition to wearing mourning bands during the timeframe. The royal family's mourning period lasted almost one week longer than the national mourning period which was held from April 9 until April 17, the day the Duke of Edinburgh was laid to rest at a ceremonial royal funeral held in Windsor, England.
