All Gotha is present at the national funeral of Elizabeth II.

Of course, the British royal family is complete, except for the youngest children, who were spared the solemnity of the ceremony.

So Kate and William's son Prince Louis (four) and Meghan and Harry's children Archie (three) and Lilbet (one) stayed home.

Among the European monarchs on site, we note the presence of Willem Alexander, King of the Netherlands and his wife Queen Maxima, as well as the King and Queen of Spain, Felipe and Letizia, the King of Belgium Philippe and his wife Queen Mathilde, as well as Queen Margrethe of Denmark.

Prince Albert II of Monaco is also on site, with his wife, Princess Charlene, as well as the Grand Duke of Luxembourg, Henri, with his wife, Grand Duchess Maria Teresa.

King Harald and Queen Sonja of Norway came, as did King Gustaf of Sweden (distant cousin of Elizabeth II), Prince Emanuele of Savoy and Crown Prince Alexander of Serbia.

Everywhere

Emperor Naruhito and his wife Empress Masako also made the trip to pay their last respects to Queen Elizabeth II, as did King Tupou of Tonga, King Jigme and Queen Jetsun of Bhutan, King and Queen Abdullah and Azizah of Malaysia, Sultan Hassanal of Brunei and Sultan Haitham of Oman.

Saudi Arabia's Prince Mohammed bin Salman had been invited, but at the last minute on Sunday it was announced that he would not be attending.

Heads of state from around the world are also on hand, with a few notable exceptions: Vladimir Putin has not been invited, as have the leaders of Belarus, Burma, Syria, Venezuela, or Aghanistan.
