Hundreds of foreign royals and leaders are expected to attend Queen Elizabeth II’s state funeral in London on Monday, in one of the largest diplomatic gatherings in decades.

Because Westminster Abbey has a capacity of around 2,000 people, only heads of state and one or two guests are said to have been invited to Britain’s first state funeral in six decades.

Meanwhile, a number of countries have been denied invitations to the funeral due to political considerations, prompting a furious outburst in at least one case.

Here are some of the notable guests, as well as some who did not make the cut:

A slew of European and international royals have confirmed their attendance at the funeral of one of the world’s longest-serving monarchs.

Japan’s Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako will visit for the first time since taking the throne in 2019. It also breaks with Japanese tradition, as the Emperor rarely attends funerals.

After centuries of mingling their bloodlines, Europe’s royal families are closely related, so several monarchs from the continent will be present.

The Dutch King Willem-Alexander, Queen Maxima and Crown Princess Beatrix, the Belgian King Philippe, the Norwegian King Harald V, and Monaco’s Prince Albert II will all be present.

Denmark’s Queen Margrethe, who postponed a series of events commemorating her 50th jubilee due to the death of her third cousin Queen Elizabeth, will also attend.

Spain’s King Felipe VI, as well as his father, former King Juan Carlos I, who abdicated in disgrace in 2014 and now lives in self-imposed exile in the United Arab Emirates, will be present.

The diplomatic guests include US President Joe Biden and his wife Jill Biden.The diplomatic guests include US President Joe Biden and his wife Jill Biden.

Unlike some other leaders who have been asked to arrive in coaches arranged by the British government, Biden has reportedly been granted permission to use The Beast, his armored presidential limousine.

According to the Elysee, French President Emmanuel Macron will also attend to demonstrate France’s “unbreakable” bond with Britain and to pay tribute to the “eternal queen.”

According to British officials, he is among the other leaders who are permitted to use their own transportation.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey and Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil are also expected.

Despite Britain’s departure from the European Union, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President Charles Michel will be in attendance.

Presidents Sergio Mattarella of Italy, Frank-Walter Steinmeier of Germany, Isaac Herzog of Israel, and Yoon Suk-yeol of Korea will also attend the funeral.

Ireland’s Taoiseach, Prime Minister Micheal Martin, will also attend as a symbolic gesture to the queen, whose 2011 state visit helped heal decades of tensions.

Russia and Belarus are among a small group of countries barred from attending the queen’s funeral as a result of Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine, according to a British government source.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is barred from visiting the UK due to sanctions, had already stated that he would not attend.

However, not inviting any Russian representatives to the queen’s funeral was “particularly blasphemous to Elizabeth II’s memory” and “deeply immoral,” according to the Russian foreign ministry on Thursday.

Military-run Myanmar, a former British colony, and long-time pariah North Korea were also passed over, according to a British source who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
