WORSHIP AND FUNERAL SERVICE
Two memorial services will be held for the Highly Deceased:
An open funeral service for companions, friends and acquaintances as well as employees, former employees and retirees together with the margravial family.
A closed funeral service for the family circle, friendly houses as well as for the representatives of politics, economy and culture.
The exact dates for both funeral services will be announced here shortly.
Such a small guest list, but it is understandable that they want to keep the list small.This morning the guest list was released by the House of Baden: Guest List
And here's a live blog for the funeral service today, that will updated with photos:

Yes they definitely are, Duke Friedrich of Wurttemberg’s widow, Duchess Marie was invited to a musical performance in Belgium and was accompanying Queen Mathilde to the event.King Philippe and Queen Mathilde attend Prince Friedrich of Wurtenberg's Funerals.
Now the King attends Duke Max Funerals.
I did not know they are so close with the German Royals.
Landgraf Donatus of Hessen represents King Charles , the Prince of Hohenlohe-Langenburg represents the Princess Royal and Prince Berthold of Baden represents the Earl of Wessex.No one from BRF? They didn't send anyone for Max of Baden's funeral. We will not be surprised if they will do the same for Constantine's funeral next monday.
Max is Philip's nephew. It is a shame that the BRF was absent.
I’m sure the House of Baden understands why they couldn’t come and I’m sure condolences were sent. Which of them could have gone? I don’t think the Wessexes were close to them plus William and Kate had an engagement today.Landgraf Donatus of Hessen represents King Charles , the Prince of Hohenlohe-Langenburg represents the Princess Royal and Prince Berthold of Baden represents the Earl of Wessex.
Hereditary Princess Sophie of Liechtenstein represents her father-in-law Prince Hans Adam, Prince Guillaume von Luxemburg represents his brother the Grand Duke.
Each to their own, but I find it disgraceful that none of the Windsor cousins bothered to attend the funeral. Instead sending representatives (that would have attended the funeral anyway) like the rest of us sends flowers. Princess Anne is of course busy in Cyprus, but couldn't at least one of them take a few hours off?
Who could they honestly have sent? The Gloucester’s aren’t close to the Baden royals, The Cambridge’s had an engagement today, Charles had an engagement today, Anne had an engagement today also and I already mentioned the Wessexes weren’t close to them. Plus they never invited or went to the weddings of the late Margraves childrenEh, Max is King Charles' first cousin. If they really wanted to, they would have sent someone, anyone, from the family.
"the Wessexes weren’t close to them"? We don't know about their personal relationship, but by blood, Edward, Earl of Wessex was Max's first cousinWho could they honestly have sent?
