So, will it be on telly? Doubtful. But you can bet your best biscuit that Sky News will have a live blog with bulletins like “Duchess’s coffin arrives, pallbearers look mildly uncomfortable.” You’ll get updates on the weather and whether anyone wore a hat. That’s your lot.
If you’re desperate for royal ceremony, just rewatch the Queen’s funeral on YouTube. It’s like a greatest hits album. And remember: the Duchess herself probably doesn’t want the fuss. She’s a woman who gave up royal life for a quiet job teaching scales. She’d rather have her memory honored with a nice Mozart piece than a 24-hour news cycle.
The Takeaway
In short: don’t clear your calendar. The only thing being televised might be the the local news van parked outside, hoping for a glimpse of a royal Range Rover. But hey, if you really want to honor her, go learn a musical instrument. Or just enjoy the peace. Because life, like funerals, is best when you don’t have to share the remote.
And if by some bizarre twist the BBC does air it, I’ll eat my royal commemorative tea towel. Live. On Twitter. Now that would be a show worth watching.
