St George’s Chapel was founded in 1475 by King Edward III and has since been at the centre of many royal ceremonies. It officially became the chosen burial place for the Royal Family in the 19th century, and is the final resting place for dozens of its members.
The chapel has been an important place of worship for the queen and her family and has been the venue for many royal weddings and christenings, as well as funerals. Included among those occasions was the May 2018 wedding of Harry and Meghan, Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
