Brexit was a lot about expressing their uber Britishness so Philips death will be just another opportunity to prove their credentials.

Only 30 people - expected to be the duke's children, grandchildren and other close family - will attend the ceremony as guests.
The Royal Family has appealed to people who wish to pay their respects in person to stay at home instead.
The palace spokesman adds that the duke's funeral is to be "much reduced in scale with no public access".
"In line with government guidelines and public health measures, there will be no public processions and the duke's funeral will take place entirely within the grounds of Windsor Castle," he said.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-56693346 (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-56693346)
