Buckingham Palace has published a list of those who will attend Prince Philip’s funeral in a chapel at Windsor Castle on Saturday.
With only 30 attendees, a list that falls short by British rules of social distancing, it will be a very intimate and very royal affair.
Here is a breakdown of who is going:
QUEEN ELIZABETH
Philip’s widow over 70, Queen Elizabeth, will attend, of course.
He has had a firm hand in planning the funeral, even banning attendees from wearing military uniforms to save his son Prince Andrew and grandson Prince Harry the embarrassment of standing out, as both have been forced to leave office. royal.
PRINCE CHARLES AND FAMILY
Elizabeth and Philip’s eldest son, heir to the throne, Prince Charles – who was photographed in tears on Thursday as he saw floral tributes to his “father” – will attend with his wife, Camilla.
Charles’s two sons will also attend with Princess Diana – heiress to the throne Prince William and Prince Harry, who landed on Sunday.
William will have his wife, Kate Middleton, by his side, but Harry’s wife, Meghan Markle, is seven months pregnant with her second child and stays at home in Los Angeles.
The brothers will not walk side by side at the funeral, a decision Buckingham Palace claims has nothing to do with the fracture of his and his wives over the Megxit.
PRINCESS ANNE AND FAMILY
Elizabeth and Philip’s second eldest son, Princess Anne, will attend with her husband retired from the Royal Navy officer, Sir Timothy Laurence.
Anne 70, had recently hailed the “legacy of her father who inspires us all.”
Anne and Timothy’s two children will also attend. They are Peter Phillips, 43, the queen’s eldest grandson, who will attend alone, and Zara. 39 – the queen’s eldest granddaughter – who goes with her husband Mike Tindall.
PRINCE ANDREW AND FAMILY
Prince Andreu, 61, with a scarring scandal, who will attend without a plus and without a uniform, although he hoped to wear one before his mother’s edict without a uniform, left the queen’s children and of Philip.
He had retired from the Royal High Seas because of his friendship with pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.
The two daughters will attend with their ex, Sarah Ferguson. Princess Beatriu, 32, will be there with her one-year-old husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi. Princess Eugenie, 31, will attend with her three-year-old husband, Jack Brooksbank, who christened her son Philip in February.
PRINCE EDWARD AND FAMILY
Finally, Prince Edward, the fourth and youngest son of Elizabeth and Philip, will attend with his wife the Countess, Sophie, and their two children, Louise, 17, and James, 13.
Sophie was especially moved when she visited her mother-in-law the day after Philip’s death, and told reporters in tears that “the queen has been amazing.”
Who will occupy the remaining ten seats?
THE EXTENDED ROYAL FAMILY
Margaret’s son, the queen’s sister, David Linley, second Earl of Snowdon, 59, a favorite nephew of the queen, gets one of the remaining seats.
So does a favorite niece, Lady Sarah Chatto, 54, who is Margaret’s daughter. She will attend with her husband, Daniel.
