Prince Philip was laid to rest on Saturday in the Royal Vault at St. George's Chapel alongside the remains of 24 other royals, including three kings of England. His coffin, draped in his personal standard and topped with a wreath of flowers and his naval cap and sword.
The queen and senior royals accompanied the coffin as it was carried on a specially adapted land rover designed by Prince Philip himself.
The Royal family adhered to all the restrictions imposed in the light of the Covid-19. In her symbolic ode to the Prince, her husband of 73 years, the Queen wore a balck dress with a large diamond and pearl brooch. The Queen and the late Prince Philip had been in a bubble with some members of their household for the last year and so the monarch was not eligible to join a support bubble with other members of her family.
It is also being said that the Duchess of Cambridge became the peacemaker between William and Harry at the funeral service of their grandfather. Amid speculations of them not seeing eye-to-eye after Harry and Meghan’s explosive Oprah interview, the three were seen chatting with each other and left the service together.
Reports suggest that Harry had a two hour long meeting with father HRH Prince Charles, brother William and his wife Kate to mend their relationship. “There is no way this is the end of the crisis in their relationships but it’s a good gesture and a nice way to take the first step towards healing. William, Kate and Charles all left after about two hours, which was long enough for the process of getting father and brothers talking again to start,” The Sun reported.
