The funeral of Prince Philip, began with a minute\u2019s silence today
\nahead of an intimate service attended by 30 people including members of the
\nroyal family at St. George\u2019s Chapel, which lies within the grounds of Windsor
\nCastle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Philip, also known as the Duke of Edinburgh, died at the age
\nof 99 on April, 9 in Windsor Castle. He was the nation\u2019s longest-serving
\nconsort, the name used to describe the spouse of a reigning monarch and had
\nbeen married to the Queen for 73 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the service is a muted affair, by royal standards, the
\nduke was intimately involved in its planning, selecting the music and ensuring
\nthe ceremony reflects his military affiliations and personal interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those in attendance included senior members of the royal family
\nas well as relatives and close friends of the duke, among them Bernhard,
\nHereditary Prince of Baden, Penny Brabourne, Countess Mountbatten of Burma, and
\nPrince Donatus, Landgrave of Hesse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But while the ceremony is limited to 30 people inside, in
\nline with public health rules, more than 700 military personnel provided
\nceremonial support outside in honor of Prince Philip\u2019s own decorated military
\ncareer. Members of the Royal Navy, Royal Marines, British Army and Royal Air
\nForce were all in attendance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ahead of the ceremony, the duke\u2019s coffin, draped with his
\npersonal flag, his sword, naval cap and a wreath of flowers laid on top, was
\ntaken to the chapel from Windsor Castle in a procession led by the Band of the
\nGrenadier Guards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In keeping with the duke\u2019s wishes, the coffin was carried by
\na modified Land Rover, which he helped design. The vehicle was followed in a
\nprocession on foot by senior members of the family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Family members were not dressed in military uniform, in a
\nbreak with tradition, instead donning morning coats with medals or day dresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Queen arrived at the chapel separately, attended by a
\nlady in waiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the rest of the congregation, including Camilla,
\nthe Duches of Cornwall; Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge; Princess Beatrice;
\nPrincess Eugenie, and other family members arrived at the chapel by car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prince Harry\u2019s wife Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, who is
\npregnant with the couple\u2019s second child, was not in attendance after her doctor
\nadvised against international travel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of his grandfather after returning to the UK last
\nweek, Prince Harry said he was \u201ca man of service, honor and great humor, with a seriously sharp wit.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harry\u2019s brother William, the Duke of Cambridge, said Prince
\nPhilip was an \u201cextraordinary man and part of an extraordinary
\ngeneration\u201d with an \u201cinfectious sense of adventure.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
