Britain is in mourning after Prince Philips' death.
Prince Harry is said to have already arrived for the upcoming funeral.
The BBC, however, has to deal with a flood of complaints.
London - Prince Philip passed away on April 9th at the age of 99.
He must have slept peacefully at Windsor Castle.
The news from the British royal family sparked a wave of sympathy and sadness across the world.
Heads of state, fans, the Pope and royal families expressed their grief.
Prince Philip: This is how his funeral will go
In the meantime, details of how the funeral of the Queen consort will take place are also known.
Prince Philip will take place next Saturday, April 17th.
The ceremony will not take place in public but will be televised live.
According to the British “
Telegraph”
, only 30 people and a clergyman should take part in the event due to the current Corona measures in Great Britain.
The Philips coffin will be driven in a specially adapted Land Rover within the castle walls to St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle.
Does Prince Philip's death lead to the reconciliation of the Prince Brothers?
Prince Harry is said to be already in the country
One of the 30 participants: Prince Harry.
The deserted prince reportedly arrived in London from America on Sunday (April 11) - without his heavily pregnant wife Meghan.
A sad occasion that brings Harry back to the UK for the first time since the Megxit.
An explosive meeting after several allegations are still in the room due to the revelatory interview at the beginning of March.
However, Harry should spend the first few days isolated in quarantine.
The ten days actually prescribed no longer remain until the funeral service - but the funeral of a close family member is a legitimate exception to temporarily leave isolation.
There is also the option of freeing yourself from quarantine on the fifth day with a negative test.
According to the
Daily Mail
, the prince will now spend the first days in the country in Nottingham Cottage - a house on the grounds of Kensington Palace.
He and Meghan had lived there before their wedding before moving to the larger Frogmore Cottage.
Former British Prime Minister John Major expressed hope that the royal's visit could also serve as the basis for a reconciliation between Harry and William.
The "shared grief currently over the death of your grandfather is in my eyes the ideal opportunity," said Major on Sunday the BBC.
After coverage of Prince Philips death: BBC receives flood of complaints
However, this sad occasion does not seem to be accorded the same importance everywhere in the country.
Since the Queen consort had stood by his wife's side since 1947, the media attention was correspondingly high.
Some channels of the public broadcaster BBC changed their TV programs shortly after the death became known.
Shipments on Friday (April 9th), but also on Saturday (April 10th) were affected.
If you look at the ratings, the TV station may be overestimating the country's collective grief.
According to a report by the British
Guardian
, this caused a wave of dissatisfaction among the television audience.
The ratings have dropped significantly, the broadcaster
BBC Two
has lost around two thirds of its viewers: inside.
But that's not all, numerous complaints followed about too much Philip reporting.
Allegedly there were so many submissions that a separate online form was temporarily set up to deal with the crowd.
The BBC did not give an exact number.
