Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh and the late husband of Queen Elizabeth II, is rested in what is expected to be an emotional farewell, with the potential for tensions of the Royal Family … and TMZ broadcasts it live.
The ceremony took place against the backdrop of a bright and early Saturday morning across the pond at Windsor Castle … where Philip’s life, service and loyalty to the queen are celebrated. As expected, Harry and William were separated when they entered the church.
QE2’s husband, 73, was resting in the castle’s private chapel – and today his coffin will be transported to St. George’s Chapel, where he will be rested in the Royal Safe.
The coffin will be flanked by 9 members of the royal family, including his grandchildren Prince William and Prince Harry.
Of course, all eyes will be on Harry to see how he interacts with his brother, his father, Prince Charles, and others, because this is their first public interaction from Harry and Meghan MarkleOprah’s interview … where they accused members of the royal family of racism.
While Harry flew inside from California for the ceremony, Meghan did not receive medical permission to travel because she is pregnant with their second child.
As for Prince Philip, his coffin will be loaded behind a Land Rover that he himself customized in a van, and the procession will pass on roads lined with military personnel greeting his naval service.
Only 30 family members will enter St. George’s Chapel – due to COVID restrictions – for about 50 minutes of service. The Duke’s medals, awards and decorations will be displayed on the altar while the royal family and subjects will bid him a final farewell.
