Prince Edward is the prince I know the least about. I think I read that his wife is well liked.

she wasn't well liked by the public because of some dodgy dealing she did with Arabs some years ago.. trying to sell the royal family down the river, but the Queen eventually got over that, and she became the Queen's faveDaughter-in-law. Not hard when you think that Queen didn't have much choice in D-I-L's... First Diana, then Camilla, and Fergie... what a bunch!!

I remember when her father passed, but it was so soon after WWII, and TV was still relatively young, that we really did not see just how involved the passing of the UK's Monarch was truly handled. For the most part, this has been done with dignity and true gratitude from all the Queen's citizens. Great to witness. The family's behavior has been exemplary.

We have seen quite a few royal funerals though - Queen Mary and the Queen Mother as well as less central personages like Princess Margaret and Princess Diana. The most poignant of them all was the funeral of Prince Phillip during Covid.

Yes, but this tops it all since the guard is being changed completely and it involves so much more.

yep so true.. just about everyone has imagined what would happen when the Queen of England died.. from the funeral to the remaining Monarchy.. a learning curve for us all.. let's hope for the good.. tho' thus far in just a few days the RF haven't put a foot wrong..

just to be pedantic.. I wasn't even born when Mary Died.. or George lV ( Bertie)...for that matter ..and for all that I'm only 5 years younger than Anne .
The funeral of the Queen mother was brought even closer into my own family, when during her funeral my estranged husband who is a head Honcho for the BBC ( and all the crew were asked to wear black suits).. who were covering the funeral .. was asked if he could step in as a personal security guard to the Queen as she walked into the Church... . He said the Queen gave him an old fashioned look as if to say '' hmmm.. I have no idea who you are ''

Prince Andrew is in disgrace and no longer a working royal. Although, unlike Prince Charles and Princess Anne, he actually served in the forces so it does seem a bit unfair.

yes as did Prince Harry, but because they both were stripped of their working titles, they forfeit the right to represent the Forces...in Uniform..
