Summary

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 Join me every Tuesday when I'm Spilling the Tea on History!
