No..... they were state funerals.

State sunerals are reserved for the Monarchy, and persons deemed to be of significance worthy of a state funeral.

Princess Diana was not a member of the Royal Family after her divorce. She was granted a state funeral as the mother of the future King, this being deemed of worthy significance.

Please don't trust the Express or Daily Mail as authoritative sources concerning British traditions, because they claim more than they know.
