Queen Elizabeth has been facing numerous challenges since the start of the year. Her Majesty lost the love of her life, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, on April 9 at 99, just two months before his 100th birthday.
The husband of Queen Elizabeth spent weeks in the hospital being treated for an unspecified infection and underwent a medical procedure for a pre-existing heart condition. In October, the British Monarch entered the hospital for tests, which forced her to cancel her visit to Northern Ireland on the advice of her doctors.
