Queen Elizabeth: Who is invited to the funeral and who is not?

Queen Elizabeth II’s state funeral on Monday, 19 September, will be attended by some of the world’s most high-profile politicians and public figures.

US President Joe Biden has confirmed that he and his wife Jill will be in attendance, alongside leaders of Commonwealth nations such as Canada, New Zealand, and Australia.

It is likely that some countries will not have representatives at the funeral as the UK does not have full diplomatic relations with them.

Members of the royal family will be present to pay respects to their late mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.
