Queen Elizabeth has performed her first personal duty since her husband, Duke of Edinburgh, died on Friday.
Monarcha organized a ceremony at which Earl Peel officially left as Lord Chamberlain, whose office hosts royal ceremonies.
During a private event held in Windsor, the Queen accepted the stick and signs of her former royal assistant's office, the BBC reports.
The Royal family is holding two weeks of mourning. The Duke's burial will take place at the Union on Saturday.
A royal official said family members would continue “to make appropriate commitments to the” circumstances.
Earl Peel announced that he would retire as Lord Chamberlain last year, with his replacement Andree Parker, a former MI5 chief who took the role just over a week before Prince Philip died.
