He divulged that after the service the family weren’t allowed to stay and support the Queen and were told to, “get in your cars and go home.”

He explained, “Having to see the Queen make a stand in terms of having to show what the world is at the moment and sit on her own and be as brave as she was, I thought just summed up her up as a lady. She was amazing.”

He continued to set the scene by saying that, “Then the funeral finished and it was ‘Get in your cars and go home, but that is what is allowed, that is what the rules state, so that is what happened.”

“It was tough but I thought the actual funeral was done so well that I think he will be looking down and he would have actually been happier about the way it happened.”

Philip was a notoriously low-maintenance royal who did not want to be fussed over and his funeral reflected his wishes as his coffin traveled on a Land Rover he helped to design.

Mike and Zara also have daughters Mia, seven, and two-year-old Lena. Of parenthood, he said, “We are loving it at the moment. It is always nice to have a little boy to keep me company. I am surrounded by ladies.”
