From the pews of Westminster Abbey, from crowds along the streets of London, from screens across the globe—millions of people watched the funeral proceedings for Queen Elizabeth II.
The prominent mourners are naturally the Queen’s eldest son and successor, King Charles III, along with Camilla, the Queen Consort, Charles’ two brothers, Princes Edward and Andrew, and his sister Princess Anne. Eight grandchildren are attending—among them Charles’ sons Prince William and Prince Harry and their respective wives, Catherine the Princess of Wales, and Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle.
The youngest generation of British royals are also among the mourners. Prince George, 9, and Princess Charlotte, 7, the children of Prince William—the heir apparent to the throne—and Catherine the Princess of Wales, are attending the state funeral—a nod to their enormous significance in the royal family, despite their age.
Many other royals—from Europe and further afield—are prominent among the more than 2,000 people attending the Westminster Abbey service.
Among political leaders at the funeral are the current and several former British prime ministers. The U.S. is being represented by President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden.
