The press won't be allowed anywhere near.

[lankeela]

Its been planned for years - operation Forth Bridge. https://www.edinburghlive.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/duke-of-edinburgh-philip-dies-19889779

I think it will probably be televised - at least to a degree - simply as a tribute to him and as a courtesy to the country.

You can bet that the paparazzi will be there with their long distance lenses.

[naomi24]

The BBC will cover it.

'You can bet that the paparazzi will be there with their long distance lenses'

I think you mean 'Telephoto' but anyway.....
I would imagine that the roads will be blocked for miles around.

"You can bet that the paparazzi will be there with their long distance lenses' " - yeah coz the last thing you'd want is short distance lenses! PMSL - I had no idea how think it was possible to be!

Trying to work out the thirty
The Queen
The PoW and Camilla
Anne and her OH
Andrew
Edward and Sophie
William and Kate
Peter Phillips
Zara and Mike
Andrews girls and their husbands
The Kents, The Gloucesters,
A few close friends
The Prime minister and his OH
I suspect Harry will come, they will say he and Megs have been isolating at home and he will travel by private jet.
One commonwealth head of state to represent the rest.
Should be ok.

I hope MM keeps away, I couldn't stand to see her fake, OTT actress face at the funeral, she put the boot into the Royal Family whilst Prince Philip was laying in a hospital bed, it's a shame he never lived long enough to tear her off a strip and tell her what service, titles, loyalty, family values and standards are, RIP Sir.

[New Judge]

Quite frankly, if the Sussexes (or just Harry) want to come and the Queen agrees to them coming, talk of them being hampered by quarantine, Covid tests, flying when heavily pregnant and so on is simply nonsense.

//... why should the royals be any different?//

Quite simply because they are different. They - and some of the media - often portray them as "just like anybody else" but they're not. Anybody falling for that or expecting that is a fool.

[Zacs-Master]

Well said NJ. I'm pretty sure the Queen is not the sort of person to keep her Grandchild away from his Grandpa's funeral.

[zebo]

Last March my grandchild was unable to attend her grandfather's funeral and she was only 100 miles away with her father.

[Arrods]

Do you think that woman will even dare to set foot in this country and have to face the Queen?

[DTCwordfan]

She did face Queen Oprah and came out with a pack of porkies, why not the Queen and she can go for scratchings....?

[ynnafymmi]

Last summer there was 2000 people attending an IRA thugs funeral.Seems there are different rules for IRA scum and decent,ordinary,non-murderous people.

[Peter Pedant]

eve that is unworthy of you
so am I

[Paigntonian]

Zacs: Gutter-dwellers? Gutter Press? Think you may be mistaken.

[Paigntonian]

Perhaps some might be able, just this once, to manage without one TV channel.

[webbo3]

Hopefully she won't be there, it will be all about me.
