The Duke of Edinburgh’s Funeral will be a “Ceremonial Royal Funeral”, the same as that of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. It will not be a “State Funeral”, something that is generally reserved for monarchs.
The Dean of Windsor will conduct the funeral service and the Archbishop of Canterbury will pronounce the blessing.
Prince Philip, consort to Queen Elizabeth II, died at age 99 on 10 April, 2021.
Running Order
At 2:40pm (GMT), the coffin will emerge from the State Entrance of Windsor Castle into the Quadrangle, followed by the members of the Royal Family who will be walking in the procession. All those in the Quadrangle will give the coffin a Royal Salute before the coffin is placed onto the Land Rover.

The news that Prince William and Prince Harry won t be walking shoulder to shoulder at Prince Philip s funeral procession has come as a surprise to those hoping for a reconciliation.
Despite the rift between the brothers, it was hoped they would be able to repair their relationship in the lead up to their grandfather s funeral.

This could be because the brothers are struggling to make peace at this difficult time, or it could just been to prevent them to speaking to one another which would leave their interactions open to the prying eyes of lip readers employed by British media outlets, as has been done before.
So you sort of, kind of (thought) are you being serious, are you joking?
Born in the English Midlands to Jamaican parents, before living half her life in Australia, the fundraiser, author, board member and even DJ walked a long path to the palace.
That meeting, and many more like it from 2008 to 2017, came through Dr Myers-Davis s role with the Royal Commonwealth Ex-Services League, which she likes to think of as the prince s favourite of the hundreds of charities he supported.
Her lasting impression is of the down to earth way he would approach people, bursting into the room without ceremony, popping up from nowhere at her elbow to ask how she was and remembering minor details, months down the track.Â
