Buckingham Palace has released the names of the 30 people who will be attending Prince Philip’s funeral and additional details about the service in a press advisory on Thursday.
The funeral will take place Saturday at 3:00 pm local time at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle. There will be a small ceremonial procession behind the vehicle with the coffin – which the Duke of Edinburgh helped design, the palace said – before the service begins.
Philip’s two eldest children, Prince Charles and Princess Anne, will lead the procession, followed by their siblings Prince Andrew and Prince Edward. Philip’s grandsons Prince William (aka the Duke of Cambridge), Prince Harry (aka the Duke of Sussex) and Peter Phillips will follow. The last members of the procession are Anne’s husband, Vice Admiral Timothy Laurence, and Philip’s cousin, David Armstrong-Jones, 2nd Earl of Snowdon.
The Queen will of course be present at the funeral for her 73-year-old husband, as well as their four children, but many other members of the royal family will not be able to attend. Prime Minister Boris Johnson will not be there, a Downing Street spokesman said, to allow “as many family members as possible” to attend the service.
