Who is in the Royal Vault and why the Queen wasn't buried with them

As the country mourns Queen Elizabeth II, millions of people have come together to pay tribute to the United Kingdom's longest-serving monarch. The Queen's coffin was lowered into the Royal Vault in St George's Chapel at her committal ceremony on Monday as a congregation of 800 guests looked on at the emotional moment.

Rather than spending eternity alongside others inside the Royal Vault, including King George V of Hanover, Princess Mary Adelaide of Cambridge, and Princess Frederika of Hanover, among others, the late Queen will instead rest beside her beloved husband, Prince Philip, in the King George VI Memorial Chapel in Windsor.
