The Prince of Wales, Prince Charles
Nine members of the royal family will walk behind the Duke of Edinburgh's coffin during his televised funeral procession on Saturday. Prince Philip, the longest-serving British consort and husband to Queen Elizabeth II, died at age 99 on April 9.
Prince Charles, the oldest child of the Queen and Prince Philip, led members of the royal family as the coffin leaves Windsor Castle and arrives at St. George's Chapel. He will walk side-by-side with Princess Anne, his younger sister and the second-oldest child of the Queen.
After his father's death, the Duke of Wales was the first member of the royal family to release a statement celebrating Prince Philip's life.
"As you can imagine, my family and I miss my father enormously," said Prince Charles, 72. "He was a much loved and appreciated figure and apart from anything else, I can imagine, he would be so deeply touched by the number of other people here and elsewhere around the world and the Commonwealth, who also I think, share our loss and our sorrow."
Although Prince Philip's Duke of Edinburgh title was initially promised to Prince Edward, it was revealed on Friday that Prince Charles would inherit the title instead.
