A period of royal mourning will be observed from now until seven days after the Queen's funeral, Buckingham Palace has said.
The date of Elizabeth II's funeral will be confirmed in due course, but it is expected to be 10 days after her passing. It means, with the extra seven days, King Charles has declared a total of seventeen days of mourning following the death of his mother.
As reported by the Mirror, the Royal Mourning will be observed by members of the royal family, Royal Household staff and Representatives of the Royal Household on official duties, together with troops committed to Ceremonial Duties.
