However, the kingdom told foreign heads of state that they are being asked to come to Britain on commercial flights and are prohibited from using helicopters to get around. Also, the world leaders will not be able to use the official cars to attend the funeral and instead have been instructed to travel by buses in London due to “due to security restrictions and road restrictions”, according to the British instructions.
In the document, which was sent to British embassies abroad, it was stated that “we regret that due to limited space in the state funeral service and related events, additional people such as the staff or entourage of the chief guest cannot be admitted.” It was also stated that heads of state who will not be able to participate may choose someone else as their official representative, such as a prime minister or senior minister.According to the same document, King Charles III will host a reception for all leaders the evening before the funeral service.
