[@shirleynitka5030]

very glad for the turnout. Richard deserved so much more for the heat he's taken over the years. He was a king!

[@sandm4eternity]

I wonder if there are surviving family from Richards line. Anyone know?

[@crossbearer6453]

Benedict Cumberbatch is a direst descendant from his mothers line. He’s even got that long face about that Richard the 3rd had

[@isobel9593]

There's no direct descendents, but there are some from his nieces

[@danieluyanguren]

There is however a Direct Male-line Descent from the Plantagenet Dynasty (through John of Gaunt) surviving to this day, they are the Dukes of Beaufort. Imagine if their line became the Kings of England instead of Henry Tudor’s

A Duchess ranks higher than a Countess in the Order of Chivalry

It should have been a Catholic funeral Mass.

[@greentombdive]

Wonder why not rather the Duchess of Gloucester?

[@bettyastrizky3378]

There is no Duchess of Wessex. Sophie is the Countess of Wessex.

Odd that Strange got interested in brittish related stuff all of a sudden

[@StyleByAdriel]

Duchess of Wessex? Really?

[@murphypaschal]

Shameful! This should have been a Catholic service. He was a Catholic King and deserved a High Mass. This is an example of a rather typical, sterile Protestant service which reflects the human side of ceremony as opposed to the Godlike.
