I watched the entire two-part replay of the Queen's funeral on C-SPAN.

It was a fascinating display of British culture. She was probably the most widely know person in the world, owing to the fact that it's said over 5 billion people watched it.

There was something that caught my eye that I'm surprised hasn't received coverage:

On both occasions they sang the National Anthem, the shots of Harry that I saw showed that he was not singing; no "God save the King" for him....Maybe it was too emotional; maybe he has a really bad singing voice and does not care to bother those around him, or maybe he's just not into it anymore....(related: I haven't heard he renounced his British citizenship and became an American, which might also explain it, but I honestly don't follow his controversy)....

1. I guess it's a family matter?

Harry has no more fucks to give, anyway. Who can blame him?

2. That's for sure.....Who can blame him?!

3. I'm going to be gracious to Harry

I think the funeral was very emotional for him. The body in the coffin was his Grandma. Plus the anniversary of his mother’s death was only a couple of weeks past. One can only imagine what was going thru his mind. As a long time choir member I will attest to the fact how difficult it is to sing when you are about to loose it and start blubbering tears.

Thank you for this insight....

4. There was speculation from some Australian braodcasters that Harry was...

...really struggling to hold it together at that point in the service.

When I am about to cry, or already crying, my voice completely disappears. Anything I try to say comes out all high, tight, and squeaky, if any sound emerges at all. It is as if the functions of my tear ducts and my vocal cords are mutually exclusive. There would be no way I could sing.

My money is on him feeling overwhelmed.
