‘Moving on already’: How the Queen’s funeral was a steady transfer of power | Palace Confidential. The Queen’s funeral was not just a display of religious solemnity, a choreographed military and global VIPs, it was also a steady transfer of power. That’s the view of The Daily Mail’s consultant editor Andrew Pierce, who tells our royal talk show Palace Confidential, that the continuity of the hereditary monarchy was an unspoken, but key element to the day. ‘When the Queen is interred in Windsor Castle, the orb’s taken away, the sceptre, the crown, she goes into the ground as almost one of us, a mere mortal,’ he tells our royal talk show Palace Confidential. ‘And when you saw George and his little sister there, you realise that’s the monarchy’s moving on already. You’ve got the King, the Prince of Wales, his heir, and then George and I think it was right to have him there.’

What did you think of Queen Elizabeth's moving funeral?
could care less about the funeral, I hate funerals. But I like the drum beat to mendelssohn funeral march, And those old dudes walking I'm impressed.
Now the W&K should soon begin workin g as ahrd as Anne. Anne just might retire,
Amidst the rainbows, the grief,the British Spirit shone through…but it was the flowers on top of her coffin that mesmerised me!🇦🇺
I am so glad there were less images of someone. I congratulate the camera man and the big candle for doing their job perfectly.
Our Gracious Queen had the last laugh (the candle)
Well done Your Majesty 🙏🙏🌹🇦🇺🇬🇧
Joe & Jill Biden were late arriving and forced to wait outside until they were sat in the rear.
Meghan Markle did not meet Oprah Winfrey until her wedding reception.
Would love to see them in Adelaide, they could come and see Queen Elizabeth II’s statue that was revealed during Covid.
Shoes.
Andrew Pierce, what great little catty remarks! You made me Laugh so hard! 😂
I really enjoyed Andrew pierces comments today
I cried at different parts of yesterday’s funeral: seeing the RCMP in procession along with the ANZACS, the corgies, the Queen’s pony, the lonely lament by the bagpiper, King Charles face as the National Anthem was sung, and the coffin lowered into the vault… very moving and emotional day. The only time I smiled was when I saw there was no good angle for the film crew—Megan was “candled”! She’ll be upset today and I think karma is finally paying her a visit!
🇦🇺🇨🇦
It would have been nice if the British Media had told Harry and his "spokesperson", "Sorry you're upset about A, B, or C Harry….but since this is the Queen's week, we won't be printing any stories about your unhappiness and disappointment over whatever your latest complaint is. Come back and see us in a week."
The Cambridge children are indeed young but are wrapped in love and respect by their family and in deference to their futures are being gently schooled in what life probably holds for them. They're old enough to look back in time and remember they were a part of history. And they loved their Gan Gan.
He's right. In twenty years it will be "Meghan who?".
Just in case you people aren’t aware that William and Kate are living separate lives in separate mansions.
He’s been helicoptering to Kate’s to pick up or drop off a kid or two. Don’t you just love the environmental hypocrisy at play here?
Private helicopters. Private plans. 5 humongous subsidizes mansions that require around the clock care. Plus hosting a new and sudden Earth (flop) Shot Prize show that will need to have hundreds of people flying all around the world which releases toxic carbon emissions into the environment. William = hypocrite.
Megan seems to be the only subject these two like to chat about..maybe they are secretly in love with her. I dare say yes.
I thought it was amazing this was all about the Queen
Not anyone else
The cameras and media got it right for once Megan not really seen best thing all round
Actions cause reaction
I absolutely love the piper at the end of the service
As a florist I thought most fitting flowers
With a family that could afford anything they choose style simplicity and thought
H didn't have the ER on the uniform when he married that woman.
Yesterday , I saw a picture of Prince Harry sitting in the car. The photograph was reportedly taken in Windsor, at the end of Queen Elizabeth II's ceremonies , and when Prince Harry should leave St George's Chapel. And , in that photograph Prince Harry looked frankly in a bad mood. He was sitting in the car and they were closing the car door for him. In fact , I 've never seen Prince Harry look so ill in public . He must not be feeling well at all.
When I saw this photo and went to see the present video from the YouTube channel Confidential Palace , where there are journalists commenting , with an air of contentment and even some enjoyment , the fact that Prince Harry was sitting in the second row , in Westminster Abbey, and not in the first row like some their cousins Zara Tindall, I thought: "My God, how is it possible that, in a moment of great suffering of a Human Being, there are people so inhumane that they have no remorse to belittle a person who is in deep suffering?!?!
Yes, because it was clear that in Westminster Abbey, as in all funeral ceremonies, Prince Harry was feeling great sadness at the death of his grandmother.
For all the campaign of criticism that was unleashed in the British Media against Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, when the couple lived in the UK, and when the Duke and Duchess of Sussex sought to carry out their Royal Duties with commitment, and check today how the place that Prince Harry occupied in the funeral ceremonies is commented, I can only conclude that there are journalists who want to completely destroy the public image of Prince Harry, and as a consequence cause great problems in his emotional well-being. I'm sorry, but I can't help but say that there are journalists who are immoral, and even potential murderers, because they seem to only rest when they see Prince Harry completely destroyed in her life , or even dead.
such sadness….good all this public closure is finished so the family can grieve in private… god bless them all
IMO, at this juncture and moving forward, no one really cares what Harry and his wife will end up doing after this, because they both have made it very clear to the whole world what they're all about. They may be welcomed back into the BRF fold because with King Charles III being defender of the faith(s), IMO it is the Christian thing to do. I strongly don't think they will be made senior royals again though, but if they are then IMO KCIII and the Prince Of Wales will surely have to deal with massive and very serious public pushback.
As a Kiwi and a royalist, we will miss our Queen. Monarchy gives us our freedom. God save the King.
Joe Andrew has the right to his opinion so if he wants to say something about Meghan then let him do so, Harry/ Meghan walked away from the royal family They can’t have their cake i it,
Apparently he didn’t have the HR on his wedding day?
Please what rubbish Oprah wasn't almost sitting in Queen's lap
She was way back in audience
Princess Di funeral wasn't fussy the Elton's song was beautiful and is still current today
You guys really are bigots when it comes to Meghan and Harry. Harry didn’t ever LEAVE the Royal family he said he needed to STEP BACK with regard to saving his suicidal wife and family from Vicious British media. And what have they REALLY done?? Meghans said that Kate was the one that made her cry – which was true … she ALSO said that Kate is a quote unquote ‘very nice person’ and she bought her flowers the next day. They spoke about the racist comment – which was true. They spoke about Harry being financially cut off by Charles – which was true. He spoke about his brother and Charles being trapped inside their roles (really who isn’t and we all come to terms with it somehow). So what exactly has Harry done? And Meghan? She changed her whole life for love and has been mauled for it. Eugenie and Beatrice work in the world and are still Full Royals. Please stop the snide comments! I am nauseous watching from South Africa – Jo please don’t have people like Andre Pearce on your show again. It is truly devastating.
Having said that the funeral was beautiful.
Diana trashed the RF
Sarah Ferguson has never spoken out of terms concerning the Royal family unlike Rachel Markle whom has done nothing but bash the royal family and their institution of 1,000s of year's. Imagine assuming Biden up front he needs too sit where told. The Queen always had dignity and as you call these people world leaders, these ppl aren't leader's they know nothing of empathy or respect unlike the Queen who actually shines above any US PRESIDENT or otherwise. Respect is earned not given at their command.
Harry stated he can't understand our 1st amendment our freedom of speech , Harry just needs too get on with life . If Harold wants to live in the USA he better adjust or exit, we have a constitution that protects our freedom " unless we threaten " another human. Great placement of candle !!
I don't know if it's true Megan send a letter to Charlie's
The flowers on the coffin were lovely
Right on Andrew!
Long live the King & Queen Consort
Thank you for addressing the ER nonissue issue. Harry was given the honor of wearing a uniform and once again, he’s “devastated” and thought about not wearing it at all since he was soooo “humiliated.”
Give them an inch and they will demand, demand, demand, demand…never a single moment of grace. Never ever happy. Never ever compassionate. Never ever having any self-insight or ownership of 1) his & his wife’s behavior and 2) the fact that he wasn’t supposed to have the ER insignia since he wasn’t an aide-de-camp. It’s my understanding he didn’t have it on his wedding uniform either.
It’s like they look at everything they’ve been given and find it’s not enough. Ever!! And they look at everything going on and insist they be involved in EVERYTHING despite their lack of standing. #neverenough #alwaysbitching
Subscribed. Jo Elvin as host is a class act, and every episode the well-spoken Richard Eden brings facts and insight with no spin (unlike some of the Harry+Meghan-bashing channels). I hope that Palace Confidential continues to follow the evolution of Charles III's reign. Not a fan of the Daily Mail website (too many ads!) so I hope that these videos will remain "ad-lite" with a strong viewership.
Obviously the seating plan was according to age. The King and his siblings then his heir and then in order the grandchildren.
Harry and Meghan sat behind King and Queen Consort… (the Queen would never have tried anything to spite his grandson, she always lead with love and forgiveness) the cousins followed in age with their husbands.
Btw., Sarah never trashed her royal family.
This channel gets more ridiculous each time I watch. How do you really know what people are thinking and feeling, too often trivializing and speaking without facts.
I used to watch often but I wonder whether I should even bother anymore..
Beautiful funeral!! Very moving I watched from California. Also loved the lineup of Andrew and Richard. Two lovely gentleman. I would love to never have to see our hear Tessa on this program😩
Love Andrew’s comments! He was priceless!! You need to have him on more often.
The “family” should have asked the public to donate to soup kitchens and charities in lieu of flowers (which generated waste). But never have they ever …
Overestimating value of Wale's in some jurisdictions, age, experience n position matter more than youth in many places where King Charles would have greater impact. What message do they want to convey? Pop star power=Wales'. Solemnity n soldarity=King Charles.
W&K have already lost half commonwealth on their last tour & the rest will soon fall too. Down w/all this crap & refund every valuable thing the monarchy ever stole from around the globe w/interest.
.. I can't think of one moment that was not profoundly beautiful and touching– but I am left, as an American citizen, being most moved by the people, themselves——- the utter amazement at their quiet, unasked for unity in 'The Queue'– the loyalty. appreciation. respect. love! on view was awe inspiring. the behavior of millions? I live in NYC and could only think of what a chaotic disaster any large gathering causes nowadays.. and I include the almost unbelievable attention and practiced, perfect, breathtaking 'execution' of every soldier, pall bearer, police man/woman, driver– just amazing. I will never forget what I saw. I hope everyone in the UK and Commonwealth are very very proud—
People in the US feel a loss also upon the death of Queen Elizabeth . We have a love for her also . My question is, when they left their positions , are their children really entitled to titles since they are not working royals. Meghan married into this position with the idea she was going to change the whole way of the Kingdom. She wants her own way in everything. They want to pick and choose what they want to participate in. It does not work that way. She needs to keep her mouth shut and quit playing the victim. HER 1 TEAR WAS SO PHONY AND PLANNED TIMING.
Im not starting gossip but I noticed Camilla looks very distraught and HER HEAD SHAKES like she MAY have Parkinson disease or it could be just nerve condition or something simple. Evetyone is getting up in age. Its NOT Easy at all.
Edward is talking it hard his wife also.
That candle wasn't big enough. Would have preferred to not see 'The Cut' Meghan Markle at the funeral at all.
No role for Harry and MegaLiar in the Coronation. They can sit behind a pillar or 3 very large candles.
I have not heard anyone really talk about what the RF are really dealing with – & without writing 1500 words – we r dealing with a pair who wanted out, agreed to a good faith deal where H got a bonus 2 million pounds in cold hard cash – plus all the millions they have – & yet their business model is to sell RF tittle tattle & try to extort & extract things like police security 24 x 7 – that costs millions & only top top stars have anything like that – so that’s what they r really dealing with – & H, as the son of the King – can & probably will – very soon – by his book & years of interviews & leaks – literally derail his fathers time as King – I think the RF needs to look at all options – they need to gag this couple about talking about or disclosing any private info – & so how this can be done – what r the legal options ?
