The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, will speak and during prayers, broadcasters will refrain from showing royal faces. European royal families will be put up at the palace, while the rest will stay at Claridge’s Hotel. The proclamation will be read at St James’ Palace and the Royal Exchange in the City of London, confirming Charles as king. There will be a service in Westminster Hall following the coffin’s arrival. New wreathes will be placed on the coffin every day. The queen’s 10 pallbearers will be chosen and practise carrying the coffin.
