April 16 (UPI) — Britain is preparing for Saturday’s funeral for late Prince Philip at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle, which will feature the royal family and include a national minute of silence.
Prince Philip died a week ago at the age of 99 after spending weeks in hospital. His funeral will not be a state funeral, as they are reserved for monarchs. Instead, a ceremonial royal funeral will he held, similar to the service held for Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother when she died in 2002.
Saturday’s service, which will be broadcast on major television networks and via live stream online, will begin at 3 p.m. in Britain (10 a.m. EDT). Attendance has been limited to 30 due to COVID-19 restrictions, Buckingham Palace said. The congregation inside the chapel will all wear face masks.
