A long period of mourning for Britain’s royal family, which will last seven days after her funeral, opens the death of Queen Elizabeth II, Buckingham Palace announced today. The date of the funeral has not yet been determined.
Separate from the national mourning to be declared by the British government, this “royal mourning”, which begins today, is observed by members of the royal family and staff who work for it, as well as for the troops taking part in the ceremonies.
Elizabeth’s funeral at Westminster Abbey is expected to take place around ten days after her death, around September 19. He will then be buried in Windsor Castle Chapel.
The new king is then expected to address his first speech to the British people.
Parliament will meet later to pay tribute to the Queen and approve the message of condolence. Then his work will be suspended for 10 days.
At 15:30 the country’s prime minister Liz Truss and members of her cabinet will go to Buckingham Palace for an audience with the new king.
Tomorrow Saturday (10/9) the Queen’s body, according to one version, is expected to be transported by royal train from Balmoral to Buckingham Palace. However, other reports say it will be taken by road to the Palace of Holyrood in Edinburgh and the following day to the city’s cathedral, St Giles, where a service will be held in the presence of the king.
