List of dignitaries at the state funeral of Elizabeth II

The state funeral of Elizabeth II, Queen of the United Kingdom and the 14 other Commonwealth realms, was attended by a significant number of dignitaries from across the world, with priority given to those from the Commonwealth of Nations, becoming one of the largest gathering of world leaders in history. They attended a service at Westminster Abbey on 19 September 2022. In addition to foreign dignitaries, a small number of the Queen's family, friends, cabinet ministers, religious representatives, courtiers and employees, and volunteers who have supported their communities attended.

To accommodate all countries wishing to be allocated seats, the UK government limited the number of members in each official diplomatic delegation to two. 500 heads of state and foreign dignitaries were present at the funeral ceremony, which was attended by 2,000 people in total.

Representatives from 168 countries, out of 193 UN member states, two UN observer states and Kosovo, confirmed attendance, including 18 monarchs, 55 presidents and 25 prime ministers.

Absences

Invitations rescinded

  • The Crown Princess of Denmark was uninvited after initially being invited. The original invitation was later reported to be issued in error.
  • The Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia was initially invited to present his condolences in person to the royal family. This invitation was later withdrawn by the government of Saudi Arabia.

Uninvited states

Six UN member states were not invited to be represented at the funeral due to poor or non-existing diplomatic relations between their respective governments and that of the United Kingdom. Belarus and Russia were both excluded due to their involvement in the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The de facto governments of Taliban-led Afghanistan, Myanmar, Syria under the Assad regime and Venezuela were also not invited as they did not maintain any official relations with the UK government.

The Republic of China (Taiwan) was not invited officially to the funeral because the UK has inactive official diplomatic relations with the ROC. However, Kelly Hsieh, Taiwan's representative to the UK, was "specially invited" by the British government to add Taiwan's condolences at Lancaster House in London. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs described it as "... the same courtesies as those afforded to heads of state, representatives, and members of royal households from other countries ..."
