A number of royals are set to be missing from walking up the Royal Mile today.
Huge crowds are expected to line the streets as the Queen’s coffin is taken from the Palace of Holyroodhouse at 2.35pm in a procession to St Giles’ Cathedral, where it will be carried inside at 2.55pm. The King and Queen Consort, with members of the royal family, will follow the procession on foot before attending a service of reflection for the life of the Queen in the cathedral at 3pm.
However not all members of the royal family will be in attendance. The new Prince of Wales and his brother the Duke of Sussex will not take part in the procession that will follow the Queen's coffin.
