The note on top of Queen Elizabeth II's coffin during her funeral on Monday was a handwritten message from her son, King Charles III
The note on top of Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin during her funeral on Monday was a handwritten message from her son, King Charles III. The message read: “In loving and devoted memory. Charles R”. The “R” in King Charles’ title refers to “Rex,” which is Latin for king. The service at Westminster Abbey – attended by around 2,000 guests – included Bible readings and traditional hymns, as well as a sermon from the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby.
Buckingham Palace said the wreath contained flowers and foliage cut from the gardens of Buckingham Palace, Clarence House and Highgrove House at the request of King Charles III. It sat in a nest of English moss and oak branches. The foliage was selected for its symbolism – rosemary , myrtle , and English oak , the palace said. The myrtle was cut from a plant grown from a sprig of myrtle that featured in the Queen’s wedding bouquet when she married Prince Philip in 1947.
