THE Queen will travel to Sandringham for a special 96th birthday to remember husband Philip – despite her reported mobility issues.
According to royal sources, the Queen’s “mini-break” is a “positive step” showing that she is prepared to make the journey.
But the trip holds an emotional connection, with the estate being late husband Philip’s favourite place.
An insider said: “The Queen decided very recently that on her birthday she wanted to be as close as possible to her late husband and in an environment that was very close to both of their hearts.
“Sandringham holds so many special memories for the Queen and Prince Philip as well as the rest of the royal family.
“It’s certainly a positive step that Her Majesty is feeling well enough and rested to enjoy her upcoming mini-break which she thoroughly deserves to celebrate her birthday.”
