Royal expert Angela Levin reflected on the upcoming funeral of Prince Philip this Saturday. While speaking on TalkRadio with Julia Hartley-Brewer, Ms Levin insisted the Queen would not want anyone to sit next to her during the funeral, as enforced by the Covid measures. She added, the Queen will not want to look like she is falling apart during the ceremony.

Ms Levin praised the Queen for her dedication and argued if the Queen wanted support at the wedding, she would be getting it.

Ms Hartley-Brewer said: “The thought of a woman in her 90s losing her husband of more than 70 years not being able to have her sons or daughters around her during a private ceremony for her husband’s loss because it is against the law is so disgusting and repulsive.

“I can’t even believe I am saying those words out loud.”

Ms Levin argued that the Queen would not be fussed about having to abide by the rules.

The royal commentator reiterated the Queen’s ability to put duty above everything else.

Ms Levin said: “I can’t believe that the Queen, who believes the stiffest of upper lips would want anyone sitting next to her.

“I can’t believe that for a moment.

“If she did want it, they would have arranged something.

“There are members of the family and her staff who have been very close to her during the pandemic.

Ms Levin also reflected on the close bond between the Queen and other royals.

“It has been mentioned that the Queen thinks of her as her own daughter.

“Sophie has been there so often that I cannot see that she would not be allowed next to the Queen should she wanted.”

The Royal commentator insisted the Queen was very disciplined and dedicated to her role as head monarch.

She added: “I think it would be easier for the Queen to keep this stiff upper lip.

“It is like doing her sense of duty, she is already back at work.

“The Queen likes to be very disciplined and doesn’t want to look like she is falling apart.

“I bet that she discussed this with Prince Philip and she would go along with that.”
