Prince Harry returned to the church where he married Meghan Markle for Prince Philip's funeral

Summary List Placement

The royal family and the world bid farewell to Prince Philip on Saturday.

The late Duke of Edinburgh's funeral was on Saturday at St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle.

Only 30 people attended the service because of coronavirus guidelines in the UK.

Prince Harry was one of the limited group of attendees. The Duke of Sussex made his first trip to the UK since the pandemic began for the funeral — just a little over a month after his bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey.

Not only did Harry return to the UK for the funeral, but he also returned to the place he married Meghan Markle.

The church has been used for a myriad of royal weddings throughout its history.

Most recently, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tied the knot at St George's Chapel on May 19, 2018, and Princess Eugenie married Jack Brooksbanks later the same year.

While both events featured flowers, the chapel looked markedly different for the funeral than it did at Meghan and Harry's wedding.

In the space where Meghan walked down the aisle, Philip's casket sat during the funeral.

And rather than a wedding altar, a display of Prince Philip's badges and insignia were placed at the front of the room.

Likewise, the seating was drastically different at Philip's funeral than it was at Harry and Meghan's wedding.

In addition to there only being 30 people at the funeral, households were seated separately to help ensure the guests were able to social distance.

For instance, the Queen sat in the same seat at both Harry and Meghan's wedding and her husband's funeral. At the wedding, Philip was at her side, she wasn't wearing a mask, and she was surrounded by wedding guests. 

At the funeral, the masked Queen was seated alone in front of her husband's casket.

Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip were married at Westminster Abbey in 1947; Prince William and Kate Middleton followed in their footsteps in 2011.

Meghan Markle did not attend Philip's funeral alongside Harry because her doctor did not give her permission to travel while pregnant.

She reportedly watched the funeral at home and prepared a special wreath for the late duke
