Buckingham Palace announced in a press release on Thursday the names of the 30 people who will attend Prince Philip’s funeral, as well as further information about the service.
The funeral will take place Saturday at 3 p.m. local time in St. Louis. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle farm. There will be a small ceremonial procession behind the vehicle carrying the coffin – which the Duke of Edinburgh helped design, the palace said – before the service begins.
Philip’s eldest two 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 them. The final members of the march 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 of her 73-year-old husband, as will their four children, but many other members of the royal family will not be able to attend. A Downing Street spokesman said Prime Minister Boris Johnson would not be there to offer ‘as many family members as possible’ at the service.
Here are the 30 people who will attend the funeral:
