London – The Duke of Edinburgh’s four children will walk alongside his coffin at his funeral on Saturday.
Princes Charles, Andrew, Edward and Princess Anne, as well as grandsons Princes William and Harry, will follow a Land Rover hearse in a procession to St George’s Chapel, Windsor.
The guest list for the service includes 30 people, with three German relatives.
Those attending will wear morning coats with medals, or day dress, but not military uniform.
The congregation will put on masks and socially distance in line with novel coronavirus (COVID-19) lockdown rules, with the Queen seated alone.
The details of Prince Philip’s ceremonial royal funeral at the chapel in the grounds of Windsor Castle at 15:00 BST were released by Buckingham Palace.
A Palace spokesman said the plans have been modified to take into account current public health guidelines, but the ceremonial aspects of the day and the service remain in line with the duke’s wishes.
He said the service will be a reflection of Prince Philip’s military affiliations and personal elements of his life.
The other guests include the Duchess of Cornwall and the Duchess of Cambridge, all of the duke’s grandchildren and their spouses, the children of the Queen’s sister Princess Margaret, and Bernhard, the Hereditary Prince of Baden; Donatus, Prince and Landgrave of Hesse; and Prince Philipp of Hohenlohe-Langenburg.
