Reunited late
The funeral procession lasted eight minutes, during which members of the British royal family marched to the rhythm of a composition by Johann Sebastian Bach. In the front row behind the Land Rover carrying Prince Philip's coffin, Prince Charles struggled to hide his grief. His face red, his eyes clouded with tears, the heir to the throne has remained dignified, but his emotion was not in doubt. Even after he donned his mask, once he entered the chapel where he sat next to his wife Camilla, in front of the Queen, his red eyes still betrayed him. As he left the chapel, he held a handkerchief in his hands.
Prince Charles and his father had a complicated relationship for a long time. The son being rather withdrawn, introverted, pampered by the women of the palace, very little physical, while Prince Philip was known for his ease in public and a champion in all sports. But while it took a while for them to understand each other, the two finally approached late. Charles's tears attest to this.
