Not for Philip, but for poor <strong>Queen Elizabeth II<\/strong>.&nbsp; If there\u2019s anything sadder than watching an old woman with a hump shuffle into a church all alone, it\u2019s seeing said woman sitting by herself in a section of a chapel designed for hundreds!&nbsp; But all eyes were on William and Harry.&nbsp; Per the prepared choreography of the day, they were separated during the procession to <em>St. George\u2019s<\/em><em> Chapel <\/em>by their cousin, <strong>Peter Phillips <\/strong>(<strong>Princess Anne<\/strong>\u2019s son).&nbsp; To be more accurate, while Pete stood between the brothers, he purposely walked a step behind.&nbsp; And here\u2019s a fun fact \u2013 when Phillips was born, QE2 offered to give him a title as a courtesy since he was her first grandchild.&nbsp; Both of his parents declined.&nbsp; Keep that in mind next time you hear grumblings about titles.&nbsp; While William and Harry were separated walking to the chapel, they walked out together \u2013 accompanied by Kate.<\/p>\n<p>By the by, either we gays are more popular than anyone imagined, or we just love the royals.&nbsp;
