Why is Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor still entitled to a royal funeral?

Senior Whitehall sources say he remains on a confidential government list for royal ceremonial funerals, part of the UK’s long-term 'bridge' plans. These plans are prepared years in advance and updated as circumstances change, but his inclusion has drawn criticism due to his stripped titles and association with Jeffrey Epstein.

Who has criticised the funeral plans?

US lawyer Gloria Allred, who represents 27 of Jeffrey Epstein’s victims, questioned why UK taxpayers should fund the funeral. Conservative MP Alicia Kearns called for the plans to be revoked, saying there were 'no circumstances' under which Mountbatten-Windsor should receive a royal funeral.

Where would the funeral take place?

Royal experts speculate the funeral could be held at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle, the same venue used for Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip. The planned burial site is the Royal Burial Ground at Frogmore in Windsor’s Home Park, a private cemetery for members of the royal family.
