Prince Philip has died...

[Anonymous]

I know Marie-Chantal is PISSED. Phillip is the last remaining reigning royal of the Greek line. (Aside from the former Queen of Spain) This would have been her time to shine in a funeral with royal pizazz. But she can't go because of the lockdown restrictions.

You're kidding right? You think Camilla and Kate won't attend? Not to mention Sophie. Including all children and grandchildren - there's 3 spots left.

If no spouses:

The Queen
Prince Charles
Prince Andrew
Princess Anne
Prince Edward
Prince William
Archbishop of Canterbury (religious leader)
Princess Beatrice
Princess Eugenie* (post-partum)
Zara Tindall* (post-partum)
Prince Harry* (wife heavily pregnant)
Lady Louise
Viscount James

There's no way Camilla, Kate, and Sophie won't be there.

It's kind of interesting and bizarre living in the UK right now. The royal family isn't going anywhere any time soon here, that's for sure.

I hope Harry attends. Speaks volumes if he doesn’t

Philip was reportedly close to both Harry and William. My guess is that he probably got a kick out of some of Harry's antics as a teen/young man and that he may have been less judgmental than others in the Royal Family about these things.

That's what I think too. But if they add them in and Harry/Zara/Eugenie - its a perfect 15. But I don't think you can fairly ask Beatrice, Eugenie, Zara, and Harry to then attend without their spouses. Especially Eugenie and Zara who just gave birth.

Oops - forgot Peter Phillips - Anne's other child.

You missed Peter Philips, Anne's son and the oldest grandson.

Wow I can't imagine Harry not attending his grandfather's funeral!

Nine who absolutely will show:
The Queen
Prince Charles
Duchess Camilla
Prince Andrew
Princess Anne
Prince Edward
Countess Sophie
Prince William
Duchess Kate
Archbishop of Canterbury (religious leader)

5 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.

Harry HAS to go--with or (preferably) without Meghan.

Why would he be? He was very complimentary of his grandparents and seems to still be in touch with QEII.

[Anonymous]

This couldn’t have been a surprise to anyone in the family, once he left the hospital that this was an expected outcome to happen sooner rather than later. And in the midst of this, grandson goes on Oprah to air his grievances with the family. Just Wow! An interview with Oprah surely could have waited.

His wife is 7 1/2 months pregnant in a pandemic which has terrible consequences for birthing mothers. I wouldn't blame him if he didn't.

Also British funeral restrictions limit to 15 - not even sure if that includes the Queen's servants or not - she's always surrounded by dozens.

Even if they're nice and say that the 15 limit is just for the family mourners and the priest....that's 5 empty spots when you ignore Anne's absent husband and ALL of Prince Phillip's relatives who are direct descendants of the union between him & Elizabeth.

Bottom line - its a tight list.

Anne's absent husband? He's not absent at all, he goes to all of the family events. He's just not a working royal.

I've never heard of a royal couple where half of the couple doesn't work at all...but you're right - he was there at Princess Eugenie's wedding by Anne's side.

Princess Anne looks good in this photo. Her face reflects her age, but she looks both elegant and svelte.

I bet he comes without Meghan. Can she even still travel given how far along she is in her pregnancy? Plus I doubt she wants to see his family and they don’t want to see her.

I don't think so. Wife in third trimester, pandemic where the UK variant is especially virulent, limited mourner guest list, and his home state of CA doesn't open up to vaccine everyone 16 and over until April 15th.

Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Thursday that the nation’s most populous state would start vaccinating anyone 50 and over in a week and the population more broadly — except those under 16, for whom vaccines have not yet been authorized — on April 15.
