Prince Philip would be laid to rest on Saturday. However, the place where the Duke of Edinburgh would be buried would not be his final resting place, New York Post reported.

Prince Philip is set to have his funeral in St. George's Chapel inside Windsor Castle grounds. Through the royal family Twitter account, U.K.'s Queen Elizabeth II has announced the death of his husband last April 9. 

 

Prince Philip got his wish of dying peacefully at his home. The Duke of Edinburgh lost his breath at the age of 99 in his residence in Windsor Castle.

Prince Philip's Funeral and His Resting Place

Covered in his personal royal standard and topped with a wreath of flowers, his sword and naval cap, Prince Philip's coffin will be moved from the private chapel at the Windsor Castle, where it has been since his death, to the State Entrance of the castle, BBC reported. 

Following his funeral, his casket would be then lowered into an opening on the stone floor at St. George's Chapel. However, the so-called Royal Vault will not be his final resting place.

The Duke of Edinburgh will be transferred to another location once Queen Elizabeth, his wife for more than 70 years, meets her final moment.

It is because centuries of the protocol require that Prince Philip be disinterred and buried at his wife's side after Queen Elizabeth's death.

Queen Elizabeth will be interred in the stately gothic church, in a vault in the King George VI Memorial Chapel.

Elizabeth's sister, Princess Margaret, and their mother, who both died in 2002, were also buried in the vault. King George VI Memorial Chapel was named after Queen Elizabeth's father, who was also buried there in 1952.

Prince Philip will have a ceremonial funeral rather than a state funeral. Because of the coronavirus pandemic, the funeral will only have 30 guests, mainly from the Royal Family and the Duke's assistant, according to a report from Inews.

A flag will be draped over Prince Philip's coffin composed of three lions and nine hearts representing Denmark's Coat of Arms; black and white stripes representing his Mountbatten family; the castle that represents Edinburgh; and a White Cross from the national flag of Greece.

Prince Philip renounced his Greek title when he got engaged to the then Princess Elizabeth in 1946 and eventually became a British citizen, taking his mother's anglicized name, Mountbatten. 

Some of the Guests in Prince Philip's Funeral

Buckingham Palace has already announced the list of guests who will be attending the Duke of Edinburgh's funeral.

Apart from Queen Elizabeth, their eldest son, Prince Charles, the heir to the throne, will be at the funeral. Prince Harry will also attend his grandfather's funeral, but her wife, Meghan Markle, will not make it because she is seven months pregnant with their second child.

The Queen's second-oldest child will also attend Princess Anne with her retired Royal Navy officer husband, Sir Timothy Lawrence. 

Prince Andrew will also attend with a plus one but will not be in his uniform. Prince Edward, The Duke of York, and the Queen's third child will also join the funeral.

Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, and his wife, Kate Middleton, will also be there. Members of the extended Royal Family are also expected to attend the funeral of Prince Philip.
