The Queen’s funeral is to be held on Monday September 19th (8pm AEST) at Westminster Abbey.
Among the guests expected to attend are dignitaries and heads of states from around the world.
Westminster Abbey normally holds 2,200 congregants. However, extra seating can be arranged to hold more than 8,000 people, which is what happened for Her Majesty’s coronation.
Will the Sussex children attend?
(Image: Instagram)It’s a given that most of the royal family will be in attendance, including her children King Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Edward and the embattled Prince Andrew.
The Queen’s eldest grandson and heir apparent Prince William will also attend, along with his wife Catherine, Duchess of Cornwall.
Prince Harry is also set to join the service along with his wife Meghan Markle, both of whom recently joined the Prince and Princess of Wales for a walkaround at Windsor Castle to pay respects to Her Majesty, The Queen.
It is unconfirmed whether Archie and Lilibet will attend.

The three young royals weren’t in attendance for Prince Philip’s funeral, but this took place in the thick of COVID-19 social distancing rules, meaning the service was quaint.
As for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s children, Archie and Lilibet, it remains unseen whether or not they will attend.
The three- and one-year-old respectively didn’t join their parents in the UK for The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations earlier this year and it is unconfirmed whether Archie and Lilibet have been brought overseas as of yet.

Following the news of the monarch’s death, it was announced that the two Sussex children were officially granted the titles of Prince and Princess.
Harry and Meghan, who stepped back as senior royals in 2020, have not been granted any new titles.
