Prince Philip will be laid to rest next Saturday following a brief procession led by Prince Charles, Buckingham Palace revealed today, according to various reports.

The Duke of Edinburgh, longtime consort of Queen Elizabeth II, died in his sleep Friday at Windsor Castle at age 99. The public will not be allowed to view the procession because of COVID restrictions. Prince Harry will attend the funeral. Meghan Markle is expected to stay in the United States, with royal officials citing her pregnancy as the reason she will not travel.
