Members of the monarchy have supported the Queen throughout Philip’s mourning period, and some of her family are expected to be with her at Windsor Castle.
It’s the first birthday she has been celebrating without her husband for over 70 years.
Boris Johnson said he was “proud” to serve as the Queen’s Prime Minister as the monarch celebrated his 95th birthday in private after the death of her “beloved” husband, the Duke of Edinburgh.
The Prime Minister wrote on Twitter: “I extend my warm wishes to Her Majesty The Queen on the occasion of her 95th birthday.
“I have always had the greatest admiration for Her Majesty and her service to this country and to the Commonwealth.
“I am proud to be his Prime Minister.”
Philip’s family and friends gathered at St George’s Chapel in Windsor on Saturday to say their final farewells to the Duke, who passed away peacefully on April 9.
Her death came months before her 100th birthday, which was to be the focus of royal celebrations this year, while the Queen’s 95th birthday was to be more low-key.
After 73 years of married life, the Queen now reigns alone without the support of her “strength and her stay”, as she described her late husband.
