On September 19th, 2022 over 4 billion people watched as the coffin of Queen Elizabeth II was lowered into the royal vault at St. George’s chapel, Windsor Castle. The monarch who had reigned for 70 years thus became part of history. And she was in astonishing historic company. She joined 10 monarchs, 8 consorts and over 30 other members of the royal family dating as far back as the 1400s, who are also interred below St. George’s chapel, in the royal vault and in other crypts around the ancient building. Let’s explore the numerous burial vaults of Windsor, dig up the past and find out who else is spending eternity with the Queen.
Monarchs and Consorts:
King Henry VI
King Edward IV & Queen Elizabeth Woodville
King Henry VIII & Queen Jane Seymour
King George III
King George IV
King William IV & Queen Adelaide
King George V of Hanover
King Edward VII & Queen Alexandra of Denmark
King George V & Queen Mary of Teck
King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, The Queen Mother
Queen Elizabeth II & Prince Philip

Honestly Henry VIII being left forgotten and abandoned in Windsor while his unwanted daughters got the grand tombs was probably the best dose of karma that ever could have happened.

I have to admit that I found the moment the Queen's coffin began its slow descent into the vault quite jarring. Just like that, she disappeared, never to be seen again by the public she served for longer than most of us have even been alive. The Hanoverians certainly suffered a lot of devastating losses of children in infancy and childhood. I can't help but feel for King William IV and his wife, who lost all of their children - his only legitimate ones - in their infancy, including Princess Elizabeth, whose effigy is on display in the halls of Windsor Castle. His younger brothers also lost several children in infancy. Horrible...

I do hope King Charles sees to it that a flattering but accurate statue of his mother's likeness is erected in some appropriate place to honor her memory.

True. Henry VIII left money for a very impressive memorial. I saw the plans. It included an altar for a daily requiam Mass to be offered. Henry took the black marble sarcophagus from Cardinal Wolsey for himself. He never got to be interned in it. Admiral Lord Nelson is in it in the crypt of St Paul's Cathedral in London. Henry VIII is entombed in obscurity in a shared vault below the choir area. There is no access for the public. It would seem that none of his three Children saw building his memorial as a priority.

@redmi9834 Жыл бұрын

Not quite all to themselves. There some others family members in the vault below. The last one to be entombed in there was Princess Alice Countess of Athlone who was a granddaughter of Queen Victoria. I saw her once on RMS Windsor Castle on her way down to Cape Town, South Africa in 1975.

The Tudor dynasty did not last long. It died when Queen Elizabeth I died in 1603. The Stuart's took over but they too also had problems with heirs for succession despite Queen Anne having 17 pregnancies and no living children to succeed. Then her sister Mary took the Throne together with her Dutch husband William of Orange. They too were childless and so ended the Stuart's. What to do now? Look for the nearest blood relative. The Elector of Hanover William was second cousin of Queen Anne and the one in invited to take the throne of Great Britain and Ireland. So began the Hanoverian dynasty. During the first World war King George V wanted to distance the royal family from its German roots and changed the name to Windsor.

Probably the likely reason they don't do this is because it is supposed to be a final, peaceful, resting place.

So, I'm fairly certain I have ancestors/relatives buried in St. George's cathedral. My great aunt has been working on the family genealogy for over 30 years, and I remember her telling my earlier this year that he was someone who worked (maybe took care of?) the church, and lived there with his wife and child. They were found buried near Henry VI, I believe, during a renovation in the 19th century. I'll have to ask her about it again, she has all these documents.

Well once you get the documents I'd like to read them online. Not that I don't believe you, just wanna see for myself cuz that's extremely interesting.

Add another lie to Shakespeare's account. Richard III did not kill Henry VI - that was done at the Tower of London on the order of his brother Edward IV after the Yorkist victory at Tewkesbury and was the natural follow-on from the death of Henry's son, also Edward, in that battle.

I hope they make a movie about this; where the spirit of Queen Elizabeth wakes up from the crypt once its permenantly down in the crypt room to see other kings and queens from the past to greet her. It would make a wonderful movie for all British people, for our beloved queen to meet all of her descendents from her dad, grandfather, great grand mother to the time of King Alfred the great!!! I'm hoping they make a mini-series for all. It would be wonderful to see what all of the spirits would say to queen elizabeth; which all spirits would greet each other as in their life; aged at the time of when they ascending as kings and queens.

I've often wondered about the one child of Queen Anne's. All those children, all buried at the same place, except this one. It wasn't that they ran out of room, as this was not the last buried. Nor was it the first buried, the eldest, or the youngest. It did not die of plague or under unusual circumstances. I can find nothing out of the ordinary about this child that separates it from the others. Does anyone have any idea why this one child was singled out for a different burial place? I've queried several history groups but no one seems to know...

Probably the baby was born at Windsor and probably due to overwhelming grief only meant to temp bury the baby there and didn't get to bring the baby to where the rest are buried.

@VeracityLH Жыл бұрын

Goid thought, and one I checked into. Anne's children were variously born at at least 6 different places, but all but this one were buried in the same space. If you think of anything else I can check, I'd be glad to hear it. I even contacted Westminster Abbey to see if they knew. No such luck.

I wonder if anybody else will ever be named Duke of Windsor? It might be too tainted, even though it's the family name. Some people speculated Charles wouldn't use that name again after Charles I&II, but he stayed with it as king.

@cakt1991 Жыл бұрын

There’s no precedent for it, as it wasn’t a “proper” royal dukedom, like York, Cambridge, Sussex, etc. It was created *for* the former Edward VIII and Wallis. Technically, it could be bestowed again, but given how much the family have tried to distance themselves from the scandal around his abdication? It’s *very* unlikely.

@C.V.20 Жыл бұрын

I don’t think anyone in the royal family will ever use the Duke of Windsor title again since Edward was the first and last holder to be call Duke of Windsor.

@redmi9834 Жыл бұрын

Charles the first is of unhappy memory and Charles II was a pleasure loving libertine. Neither were role models to be copied.

@nihilisticbarbie Жыл бұрын

No, the title is extinct. George only created it for Edward after he abdicated, it was the first thing he did as king and paid Edward a salary until he died. He also had to purchase Balmoral and another estate from Edward, as they were personal property and didn't come with the crown
