Where is Prince Philip buried?

LondonThe remains of the Duke of Edinburgh will be deposited in the royal pantheon under the Chapel of St. George, adjacent to Windsor Castle, where the funeral was celebrated Saturday after his death at the age of 9 at the age of 99.

Although the coffin of Prince Philip, consort of Queen Elizabeth II for 73 years, will initially lie in that crypt, it is true that When the British monarch dies, you will be transferred to the King George VI Memorial Chapel in the Gothic church so that the marriage is buried in the same place.

Located in Windsor, this small family temple also houses the remains of the Queen’s father, George VI, the Queen Mother, and Elizabeth II’s little sister, Princess Margaret.

In an annexe added to the north wing of the church in 1969, a black plaque is embedded in the ground with the inscription “George VI” and “Isabel”, in gold letters, accompanied by dates of their births and deaths.

Today, after the service ended, the duke’s coffin would be lowered with an electric machine to the royal crypt beneath Saint George’s Chapel, where it will be placed in a catafalque on a marble slab.

That royal pantheon at Windsor was created between 1804 and 1810 for George III, who died in 1820, and who is today one of three monarchs buried there, along with George IV and William IV.

Other royals buried there include George III’s wife, Queen Charlotte, and their daughter Princess Amelia, as well as George IV’s daughter, Princess Charlotte, and Queen Victoria’s father, the Duke of Kent.

Princess Margaret, Elizabeth II’s little sister, who died in 2002, was cremated and her ashes were initially placed in that same Pantheon before being transferred to the George VI Memorial Chapel along with her parents’ coffins, when the Queen Mother died weeks later.

Margarita wanted to be cremated because, according to what a good friend, Lady Glenconner, explained at the time, the alternative of being buried (in Frogmore) seemed too “dark”.
