Whether or not the Cambridge children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, as well as the Sussex children, Archie and Lilibet, will attend the funeral remains to be seen.

None of the young ones attended Prince Philip’s funeral – but this fell during COVID-19 restrictions, meaning the guest list was limited.

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex also didn’t make the trip to the UK for the Duke of Edinburgh’s memorial, but this was due to her being unable to fly in the late stages of her pregnancy.
