Private Burial

The Guardian explains that the right reverend David Conor will lead the service from 9:30pm local time before the burial of Queen Elizabeth II and Duke of Edinburgh in the crypt of the King George VI Memorial Chapel.

It adds "He also led the committal service at St George's Chapel on Monday afternoon. The Queen's coffin will be interred with the Grenadier Guards' Queen's Company Camp Colour - a smaller version of the Royal Standard of the regiment - which the King placed on her coffin at the end of the committal service. The Grenadier Guards are the most senior of the foot guards regiments and the Queen was their colonel-in-chief.

Only one Royal Standard of the regiment is presented during a monarch's reign and it served as the Queen's Company Colour throughout her time as Queen, concluded the Guardian's reportage.

Buried with her husband

When the Duke of Edinburgh died in April 2021, his coffin was placed in the 200-year-old Royal Vault beneath St George's Chapel. However, this is not Prince Philip's final resting place, and he will be transferred to the memorial chapel within St George's to lie alongside his wife, Queen Elizabeth II's coffin, the Telegraph reports.

According to the Guardian, the Queen's coffin has been lying in the royal vault at the church, at Windsor Castle, since the committal service this afternoon.

"Members of the Royal family will return to the chapel for the intimate event, where she will be buried in the King George VI Memorial Chapel. It will begin at 7.30pm. The memorial chapel is a small annex at the church.

Elizabeth II is the 11th former monarch to be buried in the chapel in Windsor Castle. She will be buried alongside her father King George VI, the Queen Mother and her sister Margaret.

Her late husband, Prince Philip, will have his coffin moved to join her, after his death and burial last year.

The Queen commissioned the chapel in 1962, and it was completed in 1969. Her father's remains were moved there from the royal vault in the March of the same year." Explained the Telegraph reportage.

Queen Elizabeth II, the longest-serving British monarch, died on September 8 at her Balmoral estate in Scotland.
