Mourning Period
Official Mourning
Following the funeral, an official period of mourning is observed. This period is marked by various protocols, including the wearing of black attire by the royal family and the lowering of flags to half-mast. Public engagements and celebrations are often postponed or canceled as a sign of respect. The duration of the mourning period can vary, but it typically lasts for several weeks.
Personal Grieving
In addition to official mourning, the royal family and close friends enter a period of personal grieving. This time allows them to process their loss and support each other away from the public eye. Private memorial services and gatherings are held, providing a space for intimate remembrances and reflections. This personal grieving period is essential for emotional healing and honoring the deceased’s memory.
