Where is Prince Philip’s body?
Prince Philip’s body will be examined at by a member of the Medical Household, where they will determine his cause of death.
Although details are few and far between, it is likely this will be in their medical wing of Windsor Castle.
Where will Prince Philip’s body be moved to?
A period of mourning will commence before Prince Philip will be laid to rest, with the Queen to observe her own period of eight days.
During that time, The Duke of Edinburgh will be placed in a coffin and taken to the St George’s Chapel within the Windsor Castle grounds, where he will lie at rest for family members and invited guests to pay their respects and tributes.
Prince Philip will later be taken to nearby Frogmore Gardens to be buried.
Will Prince Philip be lying in state?
With a state funeral, Royal Family members will lie in state, meaning their body is laid – often inside a coffin – and left open for the public to pay their tributes.
This is normally held in Westminster Hall, with King Edward VII the first British monarch to do so in 1910.
However, Prince Philip has turned down a state funeral, instead opting for a quieter service where only his close family will be in attendance.
That means he will not be lying in state in the days leading up to his burial.
