Show Notes
Prince Philip’s biographer, Philip Eade, joins the show to discuss the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral at Windsor Castle. He tells us the stripped back event is “exactly the sort of funeral he would have chosen for himself,” with a guest list strictly limited to just 30 people and much of the ceremony cut down.
The funeral’s taking place at St George’s Chapel in the grounds of Windsor Castle, with guests being told to socially distance and wear face masks, including the Queen. But Philip Eade tells us the smaller, more intimate gathering of close family and friends may suit her Majesty more, as she mourns the loss of her husband of 73 years.
