[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A petty king apparently. His overseas daughter in law has requested a private audience to clear the air and he has hightailed it to Balmoral.[/quote]

To be fair, the King literally buried his mother last night and has spent the last 12 days in public and unable to mourn in private. Perhaps he just wanted to be alone and grieve?[/quote]

While I agree with your point, she was not (and will not be) "literally buried." Her coffin will be placed in the George IV Memorial Chapel in St. George's at Windsor with her parents, sister and husband, none of whom were or will be buried. [/quote]

When I saw the room there were no caskets but the stones indicating where they were “buried”. I suspect there’s another room below that one.[/quote]

What do you mean when you saw 'the room'? Have you been in the vault?[/quote]

If you’ve been to the church’s in Europe, many powerful/historical people are buried right in the church. Those rectangular areas you see people walk over are graves. You can see it in the Sound of Music when Maria gets married. Yes, I am showing my age. There are also many sarcophagus’ in the churches.

When I visited Windsor many years ago you could go downstairs and see some of the monarch’s graves burial areas. The queen’s family was in a small room. Very simple.

and plain compared to other monarchs.

If you ever get to Vienna visit the Habsburg Imperial Crypt. Outstanding.[/quote]

I've been to Britain several times but never thought to try to see the burial vaults--nothing against it--TIL. Thank you![/quote]

I was with a tour group so I don’t remember if they got the tickets.[/quote]
