Prince Philip’s funeral services will take place tomorrow at St. George's Chapel in Windsor. And as the day approaches, we’re slowly learning more about what exactly the ceremony to honor the late Duke of Edinburgh will entail. Turns out, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the royal funeral has been scaled down to include only thirty guests consisting of close family members.

The proceedings will take place on Saturday, April 17 at 3 p.m. (or 10 a.m. EST). Before the ceremony begins, there will be a procession starting at 2:45 p.m. (9:45 a.m. EST), followed by a National Minute's Silence. Luckily, while we can’t travel across the pond to mourn, we are still able to watch the service. The funeral will be broadcast on the BBC One, Sky and ITN networks, as well as on NBC News and CNN. CNN will start airing at 9 a.m. EST while the NBC News broadcast will begin at 9:30 a.m. EST.
