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.
