List of dignitaries at the state funeral of Elizabeth II → List of guests at the state funeral of Elizabeth II – To be WP:CONSISTENT with other articles of similar nature (namely List of guests at the coronation of Charles III and Camilla). Further, it's sufficient to say that not every person mentioned is a "dignitary" by definition (using the Merriam-Webster definition of one who possesses exalted rank or holds a position of dignity or honor). estar8806 (talk) ★ 03:09, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Post-move comment: There was not a single comment on this discussion and it was still moved? That doesn't seem right. Personally, I didn't respond because I was neutral on the topic, but regardless, there wasn't a single support comment and the page was moved? - Therealscorp1an (talk) 05:32, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest it should be moved to its original title to be consistent with article in Category:Lists of funeral attendees. Peter Ormond 💬 23:06, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Queen?

in the article it has the name "Queen" on its own but even in the same section referring to 2 different people. Starts off with "Queen" referring to QE2 then "Queen" referring to Queen Camilla, should this be change to make it easier to follow? Jord656 (talk) 06:38, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No, since they link to the individuals. I believe readers will be aware that the King wasn't accompanied (for example) by his late mother. GoodDay (talk) 18:25, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

At time of writing, it appears that the article now says "Queen consort" when referring to Camilla, which would appear to resolve this ambiguity. All mentions I could see of "the Queen" are referring to the late Queen, with even some mentions now being "the late Queen" specifically. I leave this comment mainly so anyone else coming to this talk page doesn't go back and check the article unnecessarily now. JustAnotherCompanion (talk) 17:01, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Harewoods, the Fifes and the Queen's maternal cousins

What is the source of the Earl and Countess of Harewood, Duke and Duchess of Fife and his sister and brother-in-law as well as the Bowes-Lyon cousins attendance? Especially only at the committal servce at St George's. I can't find any source! Kowalmistrz (talk) 13:42, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Usage of 'former'

When a former office holder has the dates they've served in an office, shown. We don't need to list them as "former". Example: "Tony Blair, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom (1997-2007)", rather than "Tony Blair, former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom (1997-2007)".
