King Charles III's brother Prince Edward is set to fly to the US to attend former president Jimmy Carter's funeral on behalf of monarch.

As part of the Royal tradition, if Charles is unable to attend any major event in-person, which is happening abroad, any key member of the firm can represent the king.

According to Hello!, Charles' younger brother, the Duke of Edinburgh will represent the 76-year-old monarch and pay his respect to the 39th US President, who died on December 29, 2024.

It is understood that Duchess Sophie's husband will make a solo appearance at the service at the Washington National Cathedral in Washington D.C. on coming Thursday.

This decision from King Charles to skip state funeral of former US president comes amid the ongoing feud between the monarch and the duke of Sussex. 

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who left the UK in 2020 after stepping down from their Royal titles have not been in touch with Charles and other members of the family since the duke made high profile allegations against his relatives in his bombshell memoir, Spare.
