On This Day

2001 - HM Queen Elizabeth II, The Duke of Edinburgh and HRH Charles, The Prince of Wales, attended a service at Westminster Abbey for the British families who lost loved ones in the 11 September terrorists attacks in the United States.

I'm curious about the procession as shown - Charles ahead of HM and DoE?

I have in some church processions seen the Monarch (Queen Elizabeth) with their Consort (Duke of Edinburgh) lead the procession (going first) but in others I've seen the family members going first and then right at the end the Monarch and Consort following them all. I don't think there is any hard or fast rules.

In some processions where members of the Royal Family are present, they enter in reverse order.

Yes, I've seen QE and DoE leading the procession and the reverse, but not Charles leading with the monarch present. Maybe I confuse easily.

Maybe it depends on the day of the week.
