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?


Yes, I'm a ace at seating charts.

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

I hope it’s a small family funeral with a televised mass. And, I hope they do a celebration of his life on his 100th birthday for the people.

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

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.
