The funeral and lying-in-state of the late Queen cost the UK Government an estimated £161.7 million, the Treasury said.
Queen Elizabeth II passed away at Balmoral Castle in Aberdeenshire on September 8, 2022 after a 70-year reign of Great Britain. Just days prior to her death, Buckingham Palace issued a rare statement to say the Queen was 'under medical supervision' at her castle in Scotland after doctors became concerned for her health.
Her family travelled to Balmoral to be by her side before the passing was confirmed. Queen Elizabeth II had reigned over the United Kingdom since 1952 and is the country’s longest-serving monarch. Her death marked the end of the Elizabethan era.
