King Charles III has asked for a period of Royal Mourning to be observed from Friday until seven days after the Queen’s funeral, according to a Buckingham Palace statement, which added that the date of the funeral will be confirmed “in due course.”
Royal Residences will close until after the Queen’s funeral, according to the Palace.
Royal Mourning is a separate process to National Mourning, which also began on Friday.
The period of Royal Mourning will be observed by “Members of the Royal Family, Royal Household staff and Representatives of the Royal Household on official duties, together with troops committed to Ceremonial Duties,” according to Buckingham Palace’s statement.
