4 other possibles - Eugenie and Zara both are post-partum in a pandemic. Meghan is heavily pregnant in a pandemic. I don’t think their spouses will show without them.

Holy heck is this what you do for fun?

If it’s a private funeral we won’t know who attends.

If the Queen wants a big funeral then they will delay it.

Harry will be invited. Like the other American divorcee, Wallis Simpson, Meghan Markel will not be invited. Like his great uncle, the Duke of Windsor, Harry will arrive at the funeral without his wife but with all of his grievances.
His marginalization will be evident, just as it was with Edward

Actually Edward attended the funerals as an equal member of the family.

Members of the Royal Family follow the coffin during the funeral procession of Queen Mary, the wife of King George V of England. The procession is taking the remains to Westminster Hall from Marlborough House. Shown are (from left to right): Philip, Duke of Edinburgh (husband of Queen Elizabeth II); Edward, Duke of Windsor (son of Queen Mary and former King of England); Henry, Duke of Gloucester (a son of Queen Mary's); and Edward, Duke of Kent (a grandson of the late queen's).

Is this a joke?

DP. I am waiting for the British Embassy to announce if there will be a book of condolences to sign. If so, I will be there. The first television show I saw was the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. I have been smitten by Prince Philip since then. Let we Anglophiles have our day and our tears as they fall

We would certainly extend the same courtesy to you should one of the Kardashians die.

Save for the death of the actual monarch

Lack of knowledge is not becoming

Not this woman. I think she could live another ten years.

Very much agree. At least five.

The best PR move for the BRF is make a show of warmly welcoming Harry and family solidarity. I'm not sure they're smart enough to do that, though, given the bone-headed moves they've made since the interview.

Agree, best PR move they could make is to bring both over with open arms. She flew for her baby shower, she can fly now. Stop talking about it in public and put a lid on the tabloids, they should have stood up for her long ago,

They're too classy to do that.

Family drama on live TV. I'm going to be up at 4AM if the funeral is kicking off then

Not personally for the PP... but People say this when they have nothing else to say.
101 is a long life; why can't he live to 101. And so is 80; why not just die 20 years ago. His family will miss him, regardless of how long his life was. Everyday is precious. It is sad.

If you read any biography of the Duke of Windsor, you would see chapters of complaints about his unequal treatment at the funerals of Queen Mary and King George. He was invited only as a sop to the British public who wanted another chance to flay him after the abdication. He was particularly chagrined at King George’s funeral to know that the monarchy would be lead by his niece who he held in low regard because if her mother’s antipathy toward him.

He did his job well. Is he a good person? Eh. Did he maybe do the best he could? Probably.

I did not think of that. Yes. after 80 every year is a bonus. But there are so many sharp and active 80 yr old people who still have a lot to give to society and certainly to their families.

He wasn't stupid. Of course it would be lead by his niece. It wasn't going to skip to the other brother unless she died.

They could do a small family only burial now and a larger celebration of life type event later. I think a lot of families have been waiting like that throughout covid.
