Princess Anne walks behind casket as the only woman in Philip's funeral procession
CBSN
During Prince Philip's funeral, as a group of senior Royals walked behind his casket during its final journey to St. George's Cathedral, only one woman was present among the male royalty — Princess Anne.
Known by her formal title, the Princess Royal, Anne, 70, is Philip's second child and only daughter with a busy and prominent role in the Royal family. Traditionally, men follow the casket during royal funeral processions, but Anne, dressed in a black coat with her military medals, joined the men Saturday, echoing her 2002 role during the funeral of her grandmother, the Queen Mother, during which she was also part of the procession.More Related News
