I would think Harry and William can have private time before the service should they wish.

I read they will not be seated together.

I am watching the BBC coverage of the activities before Prince Philip's funeral. I like how they have had numerous guests on from all different walks of life and careers. They are giving stories of their interaction with Prince Philip. I like the personal touch of their interaction with the Prince. And they also are showing numerous photos. 

They are broadcasting from Windsor Castle, so you also see the other activities that are going on to prepare for the funeral. 

I went to Windsor Castle a few times. One time I was about 5 feet from Prince Philip. Was surprised that pictures did not do him justice.

Their cousin walked between them behind the hearse. I am just glad that Harry is attending; am sure that means a lot to his grandmother at a time like this, St George’s Chapel is magnificent. The men in their morning suits all look very handsome and dignified. Very appropriate for such a send off.

The service seems to be on almost every cable news channel as well as most local ones here.

@drizzellla - I saw the Queen and Prince Philip in person during a ticker tape parade down Broadway in 1976.  He was a nice looking man.

I do not remember that! Glad you went. I went to a number of parades in NYC but I am sorry I missed that one.

And yes Prince Philip was one handsome man.

During one of the interviews before the funeral. They were talking about a touching letter Prince Philip wrote after visiting Elizabeth's family. In the letter he wrote how he enjoyed spending time with their family. He didn't have much of a family. His family was exiled from Greece and moved to a relative's home, his Mom was put in an asylum, his Dad moved to Monte Carlo, his sister died in a plane crash and his Uncle and guardian died. 

Guess Elizabeth's family looked like a stable and loving environment. It was nice to hear the charming beginning of their romance.
