A British Foreign Office official said the invited target would be the ambassador level.
Syria and Venezuela are not invited because they do not have diplomatic relations with the UK, the official added.
It was reported that Afghanistan was also not invited due to the current political situation.
Previously, the British government excluded Russia, Belarus and Myanmar from the funeral invitation list.
Russia, which started the war in Ukraine, Belarus, which actively sympathized with it, and Myanmar, which took power in a military coup in February last year, were excluded from the invitation list. .
The new king, Charles III, criticized the March 1 invasion of Russia as a “brutal invasion”.
On the 19th, the Queen’s coat of arms, which will be strictly observed at Westminster Abbey in London, England, is expected to be attended by around 500 high-ranking officials, including leaders from Korea, the United States and France.
