It has been said that the Queen will be laid to rest at St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle at 16.00 local time.

Earlier, a statement by Buckingham palace published on September 10 said, “The State Funeral of Her Majesty The Queen will take place at Westminster Abbey on Monday 19th September at 1100hrs BST. Prior to the State Funeral, The Queen will Lie-in-State in Westminster Hall for four days, to allow the public to pay their respects. The Queen's Coffin currently rests in the Ballroom at Balmoral Castle. Her Majesty's Coffin will travel to Edinburgh tomorrow, Sunday 11th September, by road, to arrive at the Palace of Holyroodhouse, where it will rest in the Throne Room until the afternoon of Monday 12th September.”

It noted, “On the afternoon of Monday 12th September, a Procession will be formed on the forecourt of the Palace of Holyroodhouse to convey the Coffin to St Giles' Cathedral, Edinburgh. The King and Members of the Royal Family will take part in the Procession and attend a Service in St Giles’ Cathedral to receive the Coffin. Her Majesty's Coffin will then lie at rest in St Giles' Cathedral, guarded by Vigils from The Royal Company of Archers, to allow the people of Scotland to pay their respects.”

The statement also added, “Following the State Funeral, the Coffin will travel in Procession from Westminster Abbey to Wellington Arch. From Wellington Arch, the Coffin will travel to Windsor and once there, the State Hearse will travel in Procession to St. George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle via the Long Walk. A Committal Service will then take place in St George's Chapel.”

Meanwhile, people had a lot to say about Meghan’s tears with a Twitter user sharing, “After everything she has put the Queen through the last 18 months, her crying seems fake.” The second user wrote, “Crocodile tears all for the second interview with Oprah no doubt.” The third user said, “Feeling sorry for herself no doubt.” “I find it funny, honestly. She has no brains to understand that her hypocrisy does not fit in with her anger and envy of the royal family. She has lost all confidence,” the fourth one added.

However, there were people who supported the former 'Suits' actress too. A person tweeted, “Meghan Markle wore a black version of the cape dress she wore to the Queen’s birthday, a black version of the hat she wore to The Queen's Jubilee, and the Pearl and Diamond studs was a gift from the Queen . Her whole look was about the Queen today. Talk about being thoughtful.” Another person added, “I really feel for Meghan Markle, I can’t imagine how hard it must be for her to be there for her husband while also dealing with her own trauma being back in that toxic environment. Like she seems to be handling everything with class and dignity but still I want her out of there.”
