Mike Tindall Revealed What The Royals Did After Prince Philip Funeral
Appearing on Good Morning Britain on Friday, Mike Tindall, touched upon Prince Philip funeral. Speaking to Kate Garraway and Ben Shepher, Mike said he was very impressed by how amazingly the Queen coped within the circumstances.
But he also revealed that he and the other royals weren’t able to be with her following the funeral.
“I think thatâs what she does, she leads by example and you say, ‘amazing to see’. But I didnât really want to see it, but everyoneâs seen it now,” Mike said.

“And even after the funeral it was sort of, âyou all need to leaveâ, so you didnât even get to have that supportive side afterwards.”
Mike continued: “I think the way that the funeral was planned and run was exceptional. And for Zara it was seeing his carriage ponies and the gloves and the sugar cube box and all that lined up.
“If he was looking down I think, being in the middle of a pandemic where it was more low key, I think he probably would have been more happy with that even though the rest of us probably would have liked it to be more of a celebration. But thatâs the man that he was.”
Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh was laid to rest on April 17, in an intimate funeral at St Georgeâs Chapel.
Due to coronavirus restrictions, only 30 people were able to attend. However, thanks to living coverage of the ceremony, more than 13 million people felt like theyâve taken part in it too.
His funeral was a ââCeremonial Royal Funeralâ, the same as that of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. It was not a âState Funeralâ – something that is generally reserved for Monarchsâ according to the Royal Family website.
