Let us not presume to question Harry's grief in connection with the death of his grandfather. To do so is inappropriate and unacceptable.
In travelling home for the funeral and making it in time (provided it will be in a week's time) by using the Test to Release scheme, what "special travel privileges" would he be given? All British citizens are allowed to enter the UK (this is not a "travel", he wouldn't be vacationing). If you're implying that in entering the country alone, he would be given special treatment, you're making a fuss over nothing because that is his right as a British citizen.
The media is reporting he will travel using a special pass reserved for diplomats where he doesn't have to quarantine. That is what I am objecting to. He gave up his special privileges so he shouldn't get any that any ordinary subject doesn't get.

I’m so glad Harry will be there....and I hope that he, Charles and William will be able to really talk, now that they’re face to face. I’m sure that none of them want to have any regrets should something unthinkable happen
I'm also pleased that Harry will be able to be there with his family at this time of mourning a beloved family patriarch. Its a time for family to come together to mourn, to remember and share all those times they've had together in the past and draw closer to each other. For a time, all animosity and hurt feelings are put on a back burner somewhere because, frankly, they're not so important anymore and the memory of Philip is.

Harry will attend the funeral. Meghan will not. She was not cleared by her doctors but she apparently wanted to attend. The funeral is Saturday April 17 at 3pm at St. George.
Is this Official then? I saw it on a few news sources. No word on whether or not Harry is "fully vaccinated." Or I could have missed it,

Of course the rules are being bent for him.
Do you need to be vaccinated to travel, I thought a covid test was required and quarantine. To be honest there are so many changes then updates I could be wrong as well.
People are permitted to travel to/from abroad in order to attend funerals.
The official guidance is that, if self-isolating, you are allowed to go out on compassionate grounds, and that includes attending a funeral of a loved one. In some faiths, notably Judaism and Islam, funerals are held very soon after death, so - if someone had chance to get here from abroad - there wouldn't be time to quarantine, and allowances presumably have to be made for that.
So I don't think Harry would be doing anything wrong.
Of course the rules are being bent for him. He made the decision to move far away from his family knowing his grandparents are in their 90's.
But I am glad he is attending. I am sure he has a lot of regret based on the last few months and that is the sad part.
Max Foster stated on CNN that the funeral attendee list will be released on Thursday. I assume they confirmed Harry just due to the circumstances.
Boris also just announced he not attending.
Yes and as I said they will confirm attendees on Tbursdat because there is a rehearsal and the media will see them going in anyway.
For all we know, Harry has already arrived in the UK and is quarantining. The announcement from BP came at just after 4am Pacific Time. I assume that Charles probably called as soon as he got the news and woke Harry & Meghan in the middle of the night. I would be shocked if Harry wasn't on a flight east by last night, this morning at the earliest. There are 3-4 non-stop flights from LAX to LHR daily.
I don't think the full family attend the funeral rehearsal, it is for the military and to double checks the timings. Maybe one or two will attend to double check the arrangements but it will not be a full family dress rehearsal, in the past when it has been large scale funerals the rehearsals were held early in the morning.
Harry will attend the funeral. Meghan will not. She was not cleared by her doctors but she apparently wanted to attend. The funeral is Saturday April 17 at 3pm at St. George.
So it seems Meghan is due sooner rather than later if this is anything to go by. Late spring/early summer baby
