Overview
- The funeral took place on Saturday, June 13, 2026, at St Bartholomew’s Church in Brightwell Baldwin and was arranged to follow Lady Pamela’s wishes of no eulogy, no sermon and rousing hymns.
- Buckingham Palace had earlier issued a statement saying King Charles was greatly saddened by her death and sent condolences to the family.
- Senior royals, including the King and Queen, did not attend because the service coincided with Trooping the Colour, and the monarch was represented at the funeral by other members of the aristocracy.
- Lady Helen Taylor represented the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh and the Duke of Kent and James Hamilton, Duke of Abercorn, stood in for the King; press reports said security was discreet given the number of high‑profile mourners.
- Local and national outlets repeated unconfirmed suggestions that Prince Andrew might attend discreetly, but available reporting offered no official confirmation of his presence and the claim remains unverified.
