It's HELLO!'s understanding that, as it stands, future plans for the Duke are still being discussed. It has not been confirmed whether or not he will remain on the Sandringham estate when the Queen moves back to Windsor, or whether he will join the monarch at the Berkshire castle where they spent the COVID-19 lockdown period.

Over the last few months during the coronavirus pandemic, however, the couple have spent more quality time together than they have done in several months, as they isolated at Windsor Castle.
It will surely be difficult for them to spend a considerable amount of time apart should Philip choose to stay at Wood Farm on the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk when the Queen returns to Windsor, and so it is likely that he will join her shortly afterwards.
