Britain and the whole world are honoring the memory of Prince Philip through homage and ceremonies in accordance with the traditions of the royal family. Ever since the news that the queen's husband has passed away, the question that naturally comes to everyone is: what will happen now to Queen Elizabeth and the royal family ?!
After the farewell ceremonies, for the next 8 days, the staff of Buckingham Palace will formally observe his death as the queen enters the period of mourning, which means detachment from all royal work and duties. As a result, state affairs will be stopped in respect of the loss of the royal family.
Military institutions and special places, such as Downing Street in Westminster, honored the Duke of Edinburgh by waving all the official flags at half-staff ranging from the moment of the news to the moment of the funeral. Unlike other institutions, the flag in the royal palace was not lowered to half-staff to symbolize the continuation of the kingdom's progress.
According to the College of Arms, the funeral of Prince Philip will take place in accordance with his wishes and traditions. His body is said to be laid to rest at Windsor Castle, at a funeral near St. George. In 2013, The Sunday Times writes that Prince Philip has been totally against the sensational ceremonies for his death.
The Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip passed away on Friday morning (April 9) at the age of 99.
