London — While King Charles (76) is very much alive, his funeral plans are already causing a stir. Under the code name "Operation London Bridge", details of his final grand appearance have been leaked — and they could give even the most traditional palace insiders a headache. What the king is planning is more than just a royal funeral: it is intended as a symbolic reconciliation spectacle.

According to a report in the New York Post, King Charles has made it clear: "Harry belongs to the family." And not as a marginal figure, but with a central role in the funeral ceremony. The leaked documents show that Prince Harry (40) is to lead the funeral procession through London together with his brother William (42). But that's not all: Meghan Markle (43) and their two children, Archie (6) and Lilibet (4), are also expected to take an active part in the state ceremony.

These plans could signal that Charles is trying to mend the deep rifts within the royal family — at his own funeral, of all places. A gesture that is both politically and personally sensitive. Read more here:
