Funeral of HRH The Prince Phillip Duke of Edinburgh

[anneboleyn]

Henry VIII was known as Hal.

Yep! I love the nickname Hal from Henry.

I love that the New Zealanders had an official funeral or service of remembrance for Philip. The Kiwis are a lovely people it seems in many ways and this is especially nice considering they may mostly have a republican heart as a nation but they understand send offs and the importance of remembering certain people. I certainly hope the queen is heartened by all of these reports of remembrance the tweet or meme that was put out on social media certainly indicates it.

Queen Elizabeth II's uncle, Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester was sometimes called Harry.

Hi all, I'm a new poster and a bit late with this post, but on the day of the funeral, there was a one hour Seraphim Toll ringing at the Riddarholmen Church in Stockholm for Prince Philip. He received the order, which is the highest one in Sweden, in 1954. There was also a short video clip on TV from the ceremony but don't think the link will work outside the country. Google translate below.

As a rookie, I'm not sure if I manage to post the pictures properly, but they are all here: https://www.kungahuset.se...4ca01784aaa522d17c20.html

Splendid pictures !

Reading Vickers book about Princess Alice there were  times when Queen Louise, her sister,  would send money from Mountbatten (well probably Edwina really) to Alice in wartime - managing to get it to her somehow as Sweden was neutral. Alice just gave it away, driving her siblings spare.

Märta thank you so much for posting this moving account!

That's very interesting, thanks, I didn't know that.

I was always under the impression that CG of Sweden and Prince Charles weren't particularly close at all, despite being the same age. However, it seems there were other close bonds between the families that might have been stronger. Maybe PP and CG shared some common interests such as their commitment to the scout organisation etc.
After Philips death the other week, there has been quite a few stories on Instagram posting lovely throwbacks, and in an additional comment, besides the official condolences, the King stated via the head of comms at the Swedish royal palace: "The king is sorry that he did not get the chance to meet Prince Philip one last time. The pandemic meant that it was not possible".

Welcome, Märta    And many thanks for the info and the pictures. Lovely!!

[anneboleyn]

Thanks for sharing!

[LadyBunion]

Thank you for the lovely pictures - particularly this one - QE looks so relaxed and happy - presume this is young CG at the front?

That’s what I thought too LB! He even looks grumpy. 

Welcome Märta!  

Very nice first posts, and we appreciate the photos.

[Cordelia Fitzgerald]

Thank you, and welcome Marta!  Fascinating post and great to learn more and see more wonderful pictures! 

[Märta]

Thanks everyone, happy to be here <3  
And sorry for the badly google translated text in the first post. I did a screen recording of the short video from the church ceremony
in Riddarholmskyrkan, but I guess it's not possible to upload if you don't have an FTP server, right?

I agree, the big "family photo" is great. CG 10 years old and Queen Elizabeth 30. No excuse for CG looking grumpy nowadays, but in that photo it looks like his mapped out future is slowly sinking in just as the photo is being taken.

Was a bit surprised that Lord Mountbatten was there for the state visit, but very nice that he was. Swedish Prince Vilhelm unfortunately misplaced in front of that candle holder, I thought it was deer antlers on his head at first

Thank you for all of these pictures, Marta!
