Live: Senior Royals depart after memorial service for Prince Philip

Senior members of the Royal family and invited guests including Prime Minister Boris Johnson depart Westminster Abbey following the Memorial for Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
The Queen, who has been heavily involved in planning the event, was in attendance to pay respect to her late husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, who died last April.
Boris Johnson, the prime minister, was also present, alongside other royals and 500 representatives from Philip’s patronages.

[@leampunkt3678]

We just saw the Queen and the three heirs to the throne, the Kings of Sweden, Netherlands, Spain and Belgium, the Queen of Denmark, the Prince of Monaco and many more Royals perfectly able to arrive, attend and leave the service. Everyone attending is automatically protected by the security standards for the service. But number 6, who hated the royal life (even though he and Meghan chose it) and quit, just so to play royals in America and remember everyone, that Harry is still number 6 and therefore very important, doesnt feel save. That whole rant about "security" and the court case has one purpose: they want to be seen as "internationally protected persons", meaning Diplomatic status. They want the big cars and the whole shibang, so they can play world leaders and sell the footage to Netflix. They had this, when they were working royals. They gave it up to play Royals in America. Now they sue the British government and basically the Queen, to get these privilges back, without doing a thing for it. And the problems is, that Americans don't really understand royal life or the concept of their security. I mean most still don't question them and believe their victim narrative. So it's also another PR stunt to discredit the royal family and to remind the public, that they are royals. Because the connection to the royal family is their door opener. So regarding all the disrepectful behavior, the lies, the constant drama and attacks, the pain they caused, especially for the 95 year old Queen, the hate campaign they started targeting the royal family, Harry's family, their abuse of the royal title in the US to cash in from it, it would have been hypocritical and sort of disgusting to see Harry there. But, the royals are always classy, graceful and diplomatic in the behaviour. They never answered or challenged Harry and Meghans lies and nonsene accusations. If Harry would have really wanted to attend, they would have welcomed him. Its still his family after all. But the british people do not forgive how he has and still does treat his family and their beloved Queen. It was a relieve, that he wasn't there.

Her description of Philip being her “strength and stay all these years” was actually literal. Now he has gone her frailty and age has manifested very dramatically. He completed her and without him she’s missing half of herself. I honestly believe that was the LAST time God save the Queen was sang inside that Abbey for a very very very long time. Perhaps ever. The next three monarchs at least are all Kings. I realise how selfish I have been wanting our Queen to go on and on like an old gun horse and perhaps surpass her own mum who died at 101. Now seeing her so frail I can’t help but feel deep down. Your duty is done, your mission accomplished ma’am. Your grateful nation adores you and history will judge you amongst the very greatest of all world monarchs not just Britain’s. I believe HM will join her dearly beloved and the sun is setting. Now. We as a nation need to prepare for this. We need to be ok with her Leaving us and free her of any guilt. She has done so much more than could have ever been asked. I want her to get clapped into heaven and meet Philip up there like how Rose meets Jack in the titanic heaven. Im weeping at the thought but so bloody proud to have had her as my Head of State. God save the Queen.
