Uninvited dignitaries: Due
to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, representatives of Russia and Belarus
have not been invited. Representatives from Myanmar, which has been
governed by the military State Administration Council since the 2021 coup, have
also not been invited. Iran, North Korea and Nicaragua may only
be represented at an ambassadorial level. Syria and Venezuela
were also not invited as relations with their governments have deteriorated
over the Syrian civil war and Venezuelan presidential crisis respectively, nor
were invitations sent to representatives of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.A
delegation representing the Republic of China (ROC, Taiwan) was also not
invited to the funeral because the UK has no official diplomatic relations with
the ROC (though the Prime Minister of Palestine was invited despite the UK
having no official diplomatic relations with the State of Palestine).
