The order of the march was carefully chosen and choreographed, perTIME.
(Will the funeral be a turning point for William, Prince of Wales, and Prince Harry?
Only time will tell.)
Another notable member of the procession was the queen’s first cousin, Prince Edward, Duke of Kent.
The queen’s and the duke’s fathers were brothers: King George VI and Prince George, respectively.
(Confused by all the Georges?
His mother, Princess Marina of Greece, was Philip’s first cousin.
Only 16 at the time, the young duke had already suffered the loss of his own father.
Perhaps their mutual grief helped bond the royal cousins.
The duke has no real claim to the throne, as he currently is 40th in line.
However, according toHello!, he often represented the queen at official engagements.
(Unlike otherroyals who wore blue for the parade, Edward wore his military uniform).
Another similarity between the two cousins is their commitment to service.
