Mansion bigger than Buckingham Palace still unfinished 40 years after construction began

Anyone waking up in Britain and taking a newspaper back to bed this weekend could be forgiven for thinking the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are under the covers with them.

Buckingham Palace has released a photograph of Queen Elizabeth's final resting place. Britain's longest-serving monarch was buried in The King George VI Memorial Chapel at Windsor Castle on September 19, and the photograph of the ledger stone shows her name inscribed in gold lettering, alongside the Queen mother, George VI and Prince Philip, her husband. Alongside the image, a post on the royal family's Twitter read: "A ledger stone has been installed at the King George VI Memorial Chapel, following the interment of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth.

Buckingham Palace staff performed one last duty for Her Majesty as they lined up to pay respects to their former employer, Queen Elizabeth. As the stately procession went past, the staff all lined the road in a powerful and heartwarming moment following Monday's state funeral. Prince William and Prince Harry were part of the important royals walking behind their Grandmother, with some fans 'sobbing' in empathy for the siblings.

The Prince Harry and Meghan Markle drama continued into the weekend as it wasn’t clear if the Sussexes would be attending a pre-funeral reception at Buckingham Palace on the eve of Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral.  The Duke and Duchess of Sussex – who settled in California after stepping down as senior royals in 2020 – reportedly initially received an invitation to the Sunday evening reception, but conflicting reports said they were and weren’t expected to attend.  According to the Telegraph, they have now been uninvited because palace officials insisted that the reception hosted by King Charles III and Camilla, the queen consort, is only for working royals, which Harry and Meghan are not. Yahoo New UK reported, however, that despite the reception originally only being for working members of the royal family, an exception was made and the Sussexes are expected to attend.  Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, leave Westminster Hall, London after the coffin of Queen Elizabeth II was brought to the hall to lie in state ahead of her funeral on Monday on September 14, 2022 in London, England.  (Photo Danny Lawson - WPA Pool/Getty Images)) The "King and Queen Consort, accompanied by members of the royal family" plan to welcome hundreds of world leaders and royals from other countries, the palace said on Friday.
