There have been touching tributes from Prince Charles, tears from the Countess of Wessex, rosy family photographs from the Duchess of Cambridge, St Fergie of Condolence nipping over to comfort the Queen. We had Prince Andrew sidling in from stage right, hoping everyone will forget the embarrassments of the recent past; Princess Anne paying tribute to her 'teacher, supporter and critic' and Princess Eugenie rather patronisingly promising to 'look after Granny' — while 94-year-old Granny was already out there, having returned to royal duties four days after the death of her husband. As Prince Philip lies in rest at Windsor Castle, his nearest and dearest are preparing themselves for his funeral tomorrow as only they know how. Yet nestled among the tea and the nation's sympathies has been an unedifying row over who will and who won't be allowed to wear military uniform to the service.
