Who s going to Prince Philip s funeral? What to expect from the royal family Maria Puente, USA TODAY UP NEXT
Ceremony – weddings, christenings, funerals, coronations – is what the British royals do best in public, and with roughly 10 centuries worth of experience, it s no wonder. Now we re about to see how they do a major funeral during a pandemic, when Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, is laid to rest on Saturday.
The royal ceremonial funeral for Queen Elizabeth II s husband of 73 years, who died April 9 at Windsor Castle at age 99, will combine antique tradition, the restraints of the coronavirus pandemic, the transcendence of the Church of England funeral rite and the idiosyncratic no fuss personality of the Iron Duke himself.
The funeral of Prince Philip, the late husband of Britain's Queen Elizabeth II, will take place on Saturday at St. George's Chapel in Windsor Castle. Here's the full order of service published Friday.
