London The late prince’s funeral was held on Saturday (April 17) at St. George’s Chapel within the grounds of Windsor Castle, at 3 p.m. BST.
His funeral was not a state funeral but a ceremonial royal funeral.
Usually, state funerals in Britain are held for monarchs but Prime Minister Winston Churchill was a rare exception in 1965. A ceremonial royal funeral is similar to a state funeral but it can be more private and does not require parliamentary approval.
Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh passed away last Friday (April 9) at the age of 99. The Greece-born Duke of Edinburgh was the longest-serving consort to a British sovereign and was the husband of Queen Elizabeth II.
