Philip, soldier, prince, husband of a queen … and grandfather, indeed great-grandfather. Of ten great-grandchildren who will soon be eleven with the birth of the second child of Harry and Meghan. IS to pay homage to the most intimate Filippo, the daughter-in-law, Kate, Duchess of Cambridge disclosed a shot, made by her in 2018 in which she gathered around granny, grandmother, great-grandmother Elizabeth and great-grandfather Filippo seven of the great-grandchildren already born in that 2018. The result an intimate photo, very personal, where the Filippo with a sharp wit and lashing humor gives way to the more human, familiar dimension. Like a grandfather of a family. It is also how the elderly queen had revealed it to the world in the last Christmas message when with her, only Filippo had wanted on the desk, with a blue sweater. Similar to the one she wears in this unedited photo released now.
The unknown of uniforms at Philip’s funeral
No uniform as in the famous palace apparitions and no formalities. IS no uniforms maybe they will be forced to wear to Windsor on Saturday for the funeralsolemn of the prince also the members of the royal family since he had not taken into account the problem Andrew and, even that Harry. The son of Queen Elizabeth, apparently, had indicated the desire to wear the uniform anyway (despite the departure from the official royal commitments in recent months due to the ongoing investigation into the Epstein affair). And even Harry, with the backward step of the Megxit has accepted, certainly reluctantly, to leave the military roles held up to now.
In short, the two members of the Royal family, also the only ones in recent times to have really trodden the battlefield – Andrew in the Falklands, Harry twice in Afghanistan – the most fond of their uniform, would otherwise risk having to give up the uniform. Eventually Buckingham Palace could settle the matter by deciding so for the civilian clothes for all participants at the funeral. Although a decision has yet to be made at the moment.

Military honors
In the meantime, the presence of the country’s military corps will certainly be in force to pay tribute to the late duke with complex choreographies. Over 700 soldiers who are currently testing the provisions and the military tributes which will be paid to Filippo during what has been defined as a Royal Ceremonial Service. Honors due to a man who fought and distinguished himself with honor in World War II, attended the Naval Academy in Dartmouth and always distinguished himself for the military attitude with which he faced life.
So even in remembrance of his stoicism, his facing existence without fear – even when he held his last Royal engagement in pouring rain (without an umbrella) before retiring to private life in 2017, no one was scheduled for Saturday’s funeral. backup plan in case of rain. Good weather or rain, the duke would not hesitate before a commitment in the name of His Majesty.
