All four royals were members of the Order of the Garter, which has St George’s Chapel as its spiritual home.

“Visitors will be able to pay their respects to Her Late Majesty from September 29th 2022 when Windsor Castle reopens to the public.”
The tombstone is new, replacing the one that had been put into the Chapel in 2002 following the burial of Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother.
Also buried in the tiny chapel are the ashes of Princess Margaret, the only sister of Queen Elizabeth II. There is a separate gravestone for Her Late Royal Highness.
The chapel also contains an engraving of lines from the poem, The Gate of the Year, which King George VI quoted in his Christmas message in 1939 as Britain was at war. The most famous words of the poem are featured on the wrought iron gates that separate the chapel from the main part of St. George’s Chapel. They read ‘I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year ‘Give me light that I may tread safely into the unknown”.
Prince Philip was laid to rest alongside Queen Elizabeth II in the same family service on September 19th 2022. His coffin had rested in the Royal Vault at St. George’s Chapel, Windsor since his funeral in April 2021. The couple, who were married for 73 years, had always intended to be buried together and had agreed that whoever passed away first would ”wait” for the other so that their final resting place would be side by side.
Visitors will be able to pay their respects to Her Late Majesty from September 29th 2022 when Windsor Castle reopens to the public. Admission to St. George’s Chapel is included in the ticket although on Sunday, the chapel is only open for worship.
Queen Elizabeth II died on September 8th 2022 at Balmoral. She was 96 and had reigned for 70 years.
