Prince Philip's Funeral

 


Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh was laid to rest at 12am this morning, for those in England it would have been 3pm April 17th. I watched the service from my apartment in Sydney, and it was beautiful and moving. The military display as well as the simplicity of what was really a family funeral was deeply moving, and I imagine Prince Philip would have approved. 


Here are some special moments that were captured at the funeral.

Atop the coffin lies a wreath of lillies organised by Queen Elizabeth II, a sword and a hat gifted to the Prince by his father-in-law King George VI.

To the right is the second eldest, Prince William and on the left is the youngest, Prince Harry. James, Viscount Severn is just 13 years old so did not walk. Behind the grandsons are David Armstrong-Jones, Earl of Snowdon who is Prince Philip's nephew via Queen Elizabeth and Sir Vice Admiral Timothy Laurence, the husband of Princess Anne and Prince Philip's son-in-law.

Prince Philip funeral update

 



The funeral of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh will begin at 2:40pm in England, and 11:40pm in Sydney, Australia. For those living in Australia you will be able to watch the funeral on Channel 9. The funeral will begin with a procession from Windsor Castle to St George's Chapel. 


It has been confirmed that the procession will be lead by the Duke of Edinburgh's two eldest children; Prince Charles of Wales, and Princess Anne, The Princess Royal. Behind them will be Prince Andrew, Duke of York and Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex (the Duke's younger two children), then Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, Peter Phillips, and Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex. Peter Phillips will be separating the two brothers, the palace has said it has nothing to do with drama, this is how Prince Philip requested they walk. Finally, bringing up the rear will be Sir Timothy Laurence, Princess Anne's husband and Prince Philip's son-in-law and David Armstrong-Jones, Earl of Snowdon (Prince Philip's nephew via Queen Elizabeth). Once inside the chapel they will be joined in the procession by the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Dean of Windsor.


None of the granddaughters or daughter-in-laws are walking as it's traditional for men to make the procession. Of course Queen Elizabeth II is not in the procession, she is 95 years old so it's probably a bit of a walk for her, however she will follow in her car. Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip's youngest grandson, James, Viscount Severn will not be in the procession as he is just 13 years old. 


The full 30 member guest list for the funeral has been confirmed and looks like this;


1). Queen Elizabeth II (Wife of Prince Philip)

2). Prince Charles of Wales (Son of Prince Philip)

3). Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall (Daughter-in-law of Prince Philip)

Prince Philip funeral update

 


An update on the arrangements for Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh's funeral. This will take place at 12am AEST (Australian Eastern Standard Time) on Sunday, with coverage starting at 11pm on Saturday. Unfortunately there can only be 30 guests at the funeral, the British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has announced that he will not be attending. Prince Harry will be flying in from the USA for the funeral, however Meghan, Duchess of Sussex who is pregnant with their second child will not be attending as she is not allowed to fly. We can make an educated guess at some of the guests;


1). Queen Elizabeth II

2). Prince Charles of Wales

3). Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall

4). Prince William, Duke of Cambridge

5). Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge

6). Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex

7). Princess Anne, Princess Royal

8). Sir Timothy Laurence

9). Peter Phillips

10). Zara Tindall

11). Mike Tindall

12). Prince Andrew, Duke of York

13). Princess Beatrice of York

14). Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi

15). Princess Eugenie of York

16). Jack Brooksbank

17). Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex

18). Sophie, Countess of Wessex

19). Lady Louise Windsor

20). James, Viscount Severn 

21). Archie Miller-Blakewell (Prince Philip's private secretary)


Who will fill the other 9 sports is anyone's guess. Perhaps Autumn Phillips and Sarah, Duchess of York. The ex-wives of The Duke's son Prince Andrew and grandson Peter Phillips were close to Philip. There is a strong chance the spots will be filled by Philip's niece and nephew via Queen Elizabeth's sister Princess Margaret. I would be surprised if David Armstrong-Jones, Earl of Snowdon and Lady Sarah Chatto didn't attend. My guess is they will come without their children and perhaps Lady Sarah will attend with her husband. Other possibilities for spot fillers might be Queen Elizabeth's cousins Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester, Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, Prince Michael of Kent and Princess Alexandra, The Honourable Lady Ogilvy. 


The above list is just speculation, it doesn't even begin to account for Prince Philip's side of the family. Prince Philip has a number of biological nephews still alive such as Prince Georg Andreas of Hohenlohe-Langenburg (son of Philip's sister Princess Margarita), Prince Maximilian of Baden and Prince Ludwig of Baden (sons of Philip's sister Princess Theodora) and the children of Philip's sister Princess Sophia; Prince Karl of Hesse, Prince Rainer of Hesse and Princess Clarissa of Hesse-Kassel. It is likely just one of them will attend to represent the family. 


All in all it will be interesting to see who fills those empty spots. Other arrangements which we know for certain are that the funeral will be televised. I will try to do a live update as I watch it. We know that Prince Philip's coffin will be transported to the chapel in a custom built Land Rover which The Duke helped design when he was consulted about his funeral plans. There will be a procession on foot by Prince Philip's family (most likely his children) and some of his household staff. 


This is all we know currently. There have been some lovely tributes from Prince Philip's children and royals from around the world. I will share them with you in the coming days as well as any new updates.

RIP Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh

 




I know I haven't posted in about two years. It is with a heavy heart that I return to posting as this post is dedicated to the loss of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. The Prince was the devoted husband of her majesty Queen Elizabeth II for 73 years. Born in April 1921, Philip was just short of his 100th birthday. 


Despite the huge loss that the British Royal Family will now feel, they can take comfort in the fact that The Duke of Edinburgh lived a long and productive life. He served his country in the Navy during WW2, he worked to create awareness of the environment, particularly of endangered species through his work with the WWF. Prince Philip also created the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme which gives young people the opportunity to shine outside the classroom through volunteer work and physical activity. 


In addition Philip leaves behind a large family - four children (Prince Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward). Eight grandchildren (Prince William, Prince Harry, Peter Phillips, Zara Tindall, Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, Lady Louise Windsor and James, Viscount Severn). Ten great grandchildren (Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis, Archie Mountbatten-Windsor, Savannah Phillips, Isla Phillips, Mia Tindall, Lena Tindall, Lucas Tindall and August Brooksbank).
