William and Harry at Prince Philip's funeral: did they make up?
United in the pain of the death of their grandfather Filippo, but separated by recent tensions, William and Harry limited themselves to walking in silence, behind the funeral procession, giving the impression of an unchanged coldness. But at the exit of St George's Chapel in Windsor, the two brothers surprised everyone. And continuing to chat, they went on foot, together with Kate, to the castle, where Queen Elizabeth was waiting for them.
Fully aware of having all eyes on them, William and Harry have avoided showing emotion, walking in silence in the funeral procession, behind their father and uncles, but separated - at the behest of the queen - from their cousin Peter Phillips. The two brothers tried not to distract attention from the solemn occasion of grandfather Philip's funeral but, finding themselves for the first time after Harry's 15-month absence from Britain and the tensions caused by the Sussex's recent interview with Oprah Winfrey , they knew their every move would be analyzed.
Harry and Willam, brothers no longer distant
At the end of the religious service, however, the children of Carlo and Diana surprised everyone. Refusing the car that could have brought them back to the castle, they left the Chapel of St. George together and, joining Kate, traveled the journey together, chatting amiably. A sign, perhaps, that the death of grandfather Filippo has worked a real miracle by finally reuniting the two brothers, once inseparable, but whose relations had now deteriorated after the Megxit. And a surprise that will not fail to please Queen Elizabeth.
Farewell to Prince Philip
From the coffin covered with his personal banner and placed on the special Land Rover Defender, which had been modified for the occasion by the Duke of Edinburgh; at the funeral procession made up of children and grandchildren (not in uniform, to avoid embarrassing Harry and Andrea) and which followed the coffin with evident emotion; and to the touching minute of silence observed by the entire nation: the last farewell to Philip took place privately and with military precision, just as the prince wanted, who had planned it in detail for years.
"Thanks to Prince Philip, our life is richer"
A sober and not long ceremonial, with few guests - just 30, due to the anti Covid restrictions, but followed live by millions of spectators all over the world: Philip's funeral was accompanied by music and choirs personally chosen by the prince and by a large presence of the armed forces, who paid homage to the duke with impeccable organization. And they moved the words of David Conner, Dean of Windsor, who officiated the function, immediately paying homage to the great loyalty shown by the prince towards Queen Elizabeth and her country: "His commitment, his courage, his strength of soul and his faith inspired everyone. And thanks to him, our life is richer ».
