In what looked like a calculated snub to Prince Harry, he was seated in the second row with Meghan Markle, alongside his cousins Beatrice and Eugenie.
The expectation that the British royal family would use the queen’s funeral to build bridges with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle was rudely shattered Monday morning after the couple were seated in the second row at Queen Elizabeth’s state funeral.
In the careful word of royal symbolism, where nothing is done by mistake, the placement of the Sussexes will have sent an unmistakable message to the Sussexes that they are now very much second-tier members of the family. The estranged brothers walked side by side behind the coffin. William wore military uniform, but Harry wore civilian clothes.
The funeral itself began with a military precision that would have pleased the famously punctual late monarch at 11 a.m. local time. It ended equally according to schedule an hour later at noon local time, with a rousing rendition of “God Save the King,” then a two-minute silence in the Abbey and across Britain.
The children were among 2,000 mourners to be assembled at Westminster Abbey Monday for the state funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, who ruled Great Britain for over 70 years. The State Gun Carriage carries the coffin of Queen Elizabeth II, draped in the Royal Standard with the Imperial State Crown and the Sovereign's orb and sceptre, as it makes its way for the State Funeral at Westminster Abbey, London on September 19, 2022.It was expected that up to 100 heads of government or state would attend the funeral, dwarfing the estimated fifty who attended Nelson Mandela’s memorial. It is believed to be the biggest gathering of world leaders in history.
