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.

There was no way that he was going to rival the memorial Lady Chapel of his father in Westminster Abbey.

Yes and the fact you walk over his tomb as well is not lost me either kind of like they may have known that generations in the future who knew of his deeds would likely hold him with contempt and it's very fitting in a way he ended up such as he did .

Margaret knew it was the only way to be placed with her dad, there was no room for her to have a proper coffin. Strangely, she remains in the vault, and has not been transfered to King George VI Memorial Chapel, despite KGVI, QE The Queen Mother, QEII and now Philip all lying there. They transferd Philip, why not Margaret?

@miaomiaochan Год назад

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'm going to give my vote to George V and Queen Mary for the nicest memorial tombs. They are tastefully done, the likenesses are good, and visitors hundreds of years from now can have no doubt about who they are or what they looked like during their reign. If only all of history was preserved so well. 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.

I'm planning to go to Windsor soon. I've been there already, St. George's Chapel is beautiful, but somehow Erie (spelling?) Charlotte's monument is so heart breaking. As a Victoria 'fan' I sometimes think about how would Charlotte's reign have been if she had become Queen.

Those are things I wonder about as well. How things would have gone had Charlotte and her son had lived. I'd like to think in another universe parallel to ours she and her son did live on.

@redmi9834 Год назад

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.

@redmi9834 Год назад

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 Год назад

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.

As for the vaults being tourist attractions I think that's an awesome idea 💡😀! It doesn't even have to be every day just periodically like you said. Probably the likely reason they don't do this is because it is supposed to be a final, peaceful, resting place.

Is it weird I can imagine King George V and Alexandra, Mary of Tekt and her husband in their ghost forms look at Elizabeth II with horror and shock as Queen E relates tech innovations and family drama as they drink their cups of ghost tea... I still find it funny imagining them in Georgian styles as they stare at E in her 2 piece get-ups...

I think it’s spelled “choir” today, not quire. Wow, I didn’t know about the two coffins in Edward IV’s tomb! And I cannot imagine the grief of Queen Anne having lost 17 children.

@CallieMasters5000 Год назад

This is England. Nothing is spelled like it sounds or how people think it should be! The choir is the group of singers that meet in the quire area of the chapel.

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.

Was watching a documentary about Grand Dame Olga Romanov (sister of Tsar Nicolas). Anyway, when she was 14 or so, she was at the yearly big family reunion of almost all the Kings and Queens of Europe...they were all related, and they met up at a palace in Copenhagen each summer. Olga wrote in her diary, which a narrator was reading, as an old b & w video was showing them all playing like a bunch of kids-KINGS, Queens, Princes and Princesses! Olga wrote how odd it was to see all these royalty from lavish palaces, teasing each other, laughing playing, and having fun. I could see her thoughts and felt the same amazement and irony of the situation. Just too COOL!

@CallieMasters5000 Год назад

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 Год назад

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 Год назад

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 Год назад

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

@nihilisticbarbie Год назад

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

@evanwingenfeld493 Год назад

Great video as always Lindsey! I also like to think that as Elizabeth's body rests there for eternity, her spirit is with the others buried at the chapel as they tell stories about their lives to each other.

@est9949 Год назад

Hmm I don't really fancy the idea of Elizabeth, or anyone else for that matter, being stuck there in the company of Henry viii 😂

Jane Seymour wasn't actually the only one of the wives of Henry VIII to give him a son. Catherine of Aragon actually gave birth to a living son, Henry, Duke of Cornwall who sadly died at 52 days old. Although he died as a baby, he was still a son borne by one of his wives.

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...

@jasonvoorhees7288 Год назад

Gawd that is so creepy to think about. Now I'm wondering why? 🧐

@Crazy-Cat-Lady-of-CA Год назад

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 Год назад

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.
