Prince Phillip's body will now be removed from where it has been kept since his death in 2021, and taken to where the Queen's body will be laid to rest.
In 2021 Philip's body was lowered 15 feet into the 200-year-old Royal Vault beneath St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle where it has remained to date.
This was just a temporary resting place to await the death of the Queen one day. Traditionally as a consort of the Queen , Philip always had to be two paces behind the Queen.
There’s a very specific reason: the Orders of Precedence. The Queen always took the lead. And this applies in death too.
The volt at King George VI memorial chapel not far away had already been earmarked as the Queen's final resting place . It was built in 1810 and 1814, and houses the remains of the Queen's father George VI, her mother the Queen Mother and sister Princess Margaret.
In the order of precedence, Philip body couldn't be taken there before the Queen's. Therefore his body had to be kept somewhere temporarily.
Now that the Queen is dead , Philip will also be transferred to the King George VI memorial chapel to lie alongside his wife of 73 years, so that they can be united in death.

That article is crazy :ROFLMAO:


"‘You knock on each hive and say, ‘The mistress is dead, but don't you go. Your master will be a good master to you.’"


"He placed black ribbons tied into bows on the hives, home to tens of thousands of bees, before informing them that their mistress had died and that a new master would be in charge from now on.

He then urged the bees to be good to their new master - himself once famed for talking to plants.

The strange ritual is underpinned by an old superstition that not to tell them of a change of owner would lead to the bees not producing honey, leaving the hive or even dying."

Read this story and wonder why we always think that such practices are only associated with western kenya (kisii, luhya and luo) people.

What did the other previous events cost 2013 and 2017 ?

I believe more.
It is kinda understandable though considering the events leading up to the day, the actual day and the biggest chunk must definitely be assigned to the protocol of all those VVIPs and their entourages, accommodation, transport, the big after party etc
