According to recently found recollections of the late Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip reportedly desired a ‘small-scale’ and ‘no-fuss’ funeral.

Prince Philip, who died last year at the age of 99 during the height of a COVID lockdown in the UK, was given a quiet burial attended by about 30 people, which was precisely what he wanted.

According to Palace authorities, Philip was reported in a 2013 Daily Mail storey as stating, “I don’t want the fuss of a full state funeral.”

Even after his death, the Duke of Edinburgh refused to lie in state, a practise that requires a dead official’s body to be put in a state building.

According to a royal aide: “Prince Philip doesn’t see himself as important enough for that.”

At Philip’s death, this plan was carried out, and his body was laid to rest in a private chapel at Windsor Castle.

Philip was likewise not granted a state funeral, but rather a royal ceremonial funeral.

Mike Tindall, Philip’s granddaughter Zara Tindall’s husband, also revealed on his podcast: “I look back on the day I think is eerie as it was with no crowds and the social distancing. I think it was the perfect day for how he would have liked it, if that makes any sense whatsoever.”
