The  Duke of Edinburgh  was laid to rest with a traditional tribute on Saturday April 17, just a week after his passing.  Queen Elizabeth  and her royal family paid final respects to Prince Philip during his funeral at St George’s Chapel in Windsor. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic only thirty guests were in attendance at the ceremony, including the prince’s beloved children and grandchildren like  Princes William  and  Harry . Fortunately, the restrictions didn’t affect Philip’s approved funeral plans too drastically.
