Prince Philip sadly passed away this morning. While we all join the Royal Family mourning, L'Officiel answers your burning questions about the funeral. Who will attend it? Will Prince Harry and Meghan be invited?

His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, has passed away today at the age of 99. The news was confirmed earlier today by Her Majesty The Queen, who said in a statement: &quot;His Royal Highness passed away peacefully this morning at Windsor Castle.&quot; The Duke of Edinburgh was the longest-serving consort in British history as his marriage with The Queen was over 73 years long.

Prince Philip will lie in rest at Windsor Castle before his funeral at St. George&#39;s Chapel. While the public may not attend, we expect many senior members of the Royal Family to attend.&nbsp;With COVID-19 still a real concern, Prince Philip&#39;s funeral will certainly look different. First of all, the funeral won&#39;t be a state funeral as his wishes were such that he didn&#39;t want that kind of &quot;craziness&quot; made over him and his death.

Due to its 800-capacity, St. George&#39;s Chapel can host a large yet socially distanced funeral, that would respect Philip&#39;s wishes and the coronavirus rules. However, current rules in England state that no more than 30 may attend a funeral. For these reasons, the list of invitees will include only a small number of people.&nbsp;

Who will attend Prince Philip's Funeral? The Queen is expected to mourn her husband along with senior members of the Royal Family.

Who will attend Prince Philip&#39;s Funeral?

Queen Elizabeth and the Royal Family

Of course, Queen Elizabeth and her four children&ndash;Prince Charles, heir to the throne, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew, and Prince Edward.

Prince William and Kate Middleton

Second in line to the throne, Prince Philip&#39;s grandson Prince Willliam is expected to attend the funeral, with wife Catherine and their three&nbsp;children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

Will Prince Harry and Meghan attend Prince Philip&#39;s Funeral?

Will Prince Harry and Meghan leave their idyllic mansion (ahem, castle) in Los Angeles to attend the funeral? Prince Harry was very close to his grandfather, and went out of his way to clarify that his grandfather did not make the racist remarks that Meghan commented upon during their bombshell interview with Oprah. The young royal had plans to visit England this summer to celebrate Prince Philip&#39;s 100th Birthday, and he will more than likely attend Prince Philip&#39;s funeral.

Royal watchers are waiting to see if Meghan Markle will also attend Prince Philip&#39;s funeral with baby Archie. As she is quite pregnant, it may be assumed that she will not make the long trip back to England for the funeral. Generally speaking, those over 39 weeks pregnant do not normally travel. No expecting mother would want undue stress, and any trip back to England would be very stressful for the former actress.

Prince Harry and Meghan drew backlash late Friday as they released a statement on the Duke&#39;s death that was notedly reserved and, quite frankly short. When Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed away last year,&nbsp; Meghan herself wrote a long note of condolence.

Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie

Both princesses, the daughters of Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew, are very close with their grandmother and are currently living in the London area. Though Princess Eugenie recently gave birth, she will be sure to attend to support her grandmother.

Boris Johnson, Prime Minister of the U.K.

Boris Johnson gave his remarks this morning after hearing the news of Prince Philip&#39;s passing, and he will most likely attend the funeral. It is common for heads of state to attend the funerals of royals, although it is rare for royals like the Queen to attend funerals of commoners (the one occasion was when Queen Elizabeth attended the funeral of Winston Churchill in 1965.)
