The ceremonies to honor Queen Elizabeth II, from the memorial service to lying in state, follow strict rules of protocol. Her funeral service will be no exception -- down to the royal dress code.
Members of the royal family will all be in attendance, including the queen's four children, her eight grandchildren and their spouses, along with several U.K. prime ministers including the current and past ones. It is unclear if the queen's great-grandchildren will attend.Yui Mok/POOL/AFP via Getty Images
Prince Andrew and Prince Harry, the queen's son and grandson, respectively, are the only living members of the queen's immediate family to have served in the military in wartime. Though they both will not be in uniform at the funeral as they are no longer working royals. On Monday, members of the royal family, including Camilla, the Queen Consort; Kate, the Princess of Wales; Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex; and Sophie, the Countess of Sussex, will wear black, as they have since the queen's death was announced.Long, black, face-covering veils are also a common sight at state funerals, a tradition that is believed to have started with Queen Victoria.
