A statement shared on the royal family’s official website on Monday evening confirmed: “The Queen was buried together with The Duke of Edinburgh, at The King George VI Memorial Chapel.”
While the national mourning period for Her Majesty came to a close after her funeral on Monday, King Charles III pledged that a period of private mourning would be observed until seven days after the funeral.
The royal family will mourn in private
Therefore, royal family members are not expected to carry out official engagements at this time. Also, flags at royal residences will remain at half-mast until 8am after the final day of royal mourning as a mark of respect.
On Tuesday, it was announced that the Queen’s former homes would begin reopening for members of the public to view, including Windsor Castle opening its doors on 29 September, which is where the Queen spent much of her time prior to her death on 8 September.
