There are going to be some really, really famous and powerful people at that funeral. Like I wouldn’t be shocked if Xi Jinping goes to the funeral. It’s going to be hard for someone even as dramatic as Trump to upend this.

The only ones the Royal Family is really worrying about are Harry and Meghan since they do have the power to ruin the funeral and make it all about them. The entire royal family would much rather have Trump there than Meghan.

I would. Xi has barely left Beijing in two years. I would expect that the Foreign Minister goes, and probably Jintao and whatever living former CCP leader was in office when the Brits gave back Hong Kong.

That’s laughable. This isn’t just a tabloid production. There will be a spotlight and all manner of heads of state and dignitaries which would take the opportunity to air grievances against the old Empire. Like it or not the British monarchy represents racism and imperialism to some.

There’s also the potential for a world altering terror attack with probably so many heads of state gathered
