The Queen's Committal Service Is Taking Place In The Chapel That Hosted Her Husband's Funeral

LONDON - The committal service for Queen Elizabeth II will take place at St.George's Chapel, within the walls of Windsor Castle.

Construction of the chapel begun under King Edward IV in 1457 and was completed just over 50 years later by King Henry VIII.

The chapter is a Royal Peculiar -- meaning a church under the direct jurisdiction of the monarch. The chapel is governed by the Dean and Canons of Windsor who -- along with their officers and staff - - are independent of the royal household.

It has been the location of many royal weddings, including the Earl and Countess of Wessex in June 1999, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in May 2018 and Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank in October 2018.

Back in 2005, it was also where a service of dedication and prayer took place following the marriage of King Charles and Camilla, the Queen Consort.

Funerals have also taken place there including those of Princess Margaret and Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester. The funeral for the Duke of Edinburgh was held at the chapel last April.
