Buckingham Palace on Thursday released the names of the 30 people who will attend Prince Philip's funeral on Saturday. The number of attendees is limited to 30 due to Britain's COVID-19 restrictions — and even Prime Minister Boris Johnson won't be attending.
The funeral is limited to Queen Elizabeth and Philip's four children, eight grandchildren, their spouses, the late Princess Margaret's children and several members of Philip's Greek and German family. The full list of attendees is as follows:Noumea — France's president held a flurry of meetings with local representatives in the restive Pacific territory of New Caledonia on Thursday, urging calm after deadly rioting, and vowing thousands of military reinforcements will stay in place to quell what he called an "unprecedented insurrection."
Kathmandu — Nepali climber Phunjo Lama on Thursday reached Mount Everest's summit in 14 hours and 31 minutes, smashing the record for the world's fastest ascent of the mountain by a woman.
