Queen to be laid to rest by side of 'beloved husband' at Windsor memorial chapel

The Queen will be laid to rest by the side of her beloved late husband Prince Philip in the King George Vl memorial chapel at Windsor Castle. Their remains will be interred in the small chapel where the Queen's parents are also buried and her sister Margaret's ashes were taken following her death in 2002.

The Duke of Edinburgh's - Queen Elizabeth's husband - passed away in April 2021 aged 99. His coffin will eventually be transferred to rest by her side after he was originally placed on a marble slab in the Royal Vault beneath St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, reports the Mirror.

Her father George VI died in 1952 but was first interred in the Royal Vault but was not transferred to the memorial chapel until 1969. It remains draped by the royal standard that was used at his funeral.
