His father used to attend royal occasions like this while he was a teenage. Quite unique among royal families, I'd say.
Could we generate a list? So far I have seen:
TRH The Grand Duke and Duchess of Luxembourg
HRH The Earl of Wessex
HH The Emir of Qatar
HRH The Crown Prince of Morocco (This is an interesting one. The King sent regrets due to his ill health. The Crown Prince is only 16.)
An interesting royal (imperial) connection: Before being transported to St. Sulpice for the funeral (Notre Dame being unavailable due to the fire), M. Chirac's body lay in the Invalides, resting place of Napoleon I, his son and brother. Has the site been used for other non-Bonaparte lyings in state?
