King Charles III and Queen Elizabeth's other three children will be joined by the Prince and Princess of Wales, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Harry and Meghan and several others in walking in the procession behind her coffin at her funeral on Monday, according to the order of service released Sunday night by Buckingham Palace.
The funeral, at Westminster Abbey in London, is set to start at 6 a.m. Eastern time. At 10:30 p.m. local time, the queue of mourners was closed to new entrants so that all the mourners would have a chance to pay their respects before the funeral begins.
The funeral will be officiated by Rev. Dr. David Hoyle, the Dean of Westminster, and the sermon delivered by the Most Rev. Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Buckingham Palace said. It will also be interspersed with several scripture readings, hymns and prayers.
