LONDON — From England to Scotland, thousands of mourners are lining up for hours to pay their respects to Queen Elizabeth II. Her coffin will be flown to London on Tuesday, the latest leg of a 500-mile ceremonial journey that takes the late monarch to her final resting place in Windsor.
King Charles III and Camilla, Queen Consort, arrived in Belfast, the capital of Northern Ireland, on Tuesday to meet with political leaders and hear condolences. For many Irish people, the queen’s death has surfaced mixed emotions.
Key developments
- Northern Ireland’s devolved government is in disarray, a potentially thorny situation that could put a wrinkle in the king’s charm offensive to greet subjects in all four corners of the United Kingdom.
- In Edinburgh, Scotland, crowds thronged the cobblestone streets on Monday, hoping to catch a glimpse of the hearse transporting the queen to St. Giles’s Cathedral. Charles addressed Scotland’s Parliament and pledged “to always seek the welfare of the people.”
- Rehearsals for the funeral are unfolding outside Buckingham Palace. Members of the King’s Life Guards spent Tuesday morning practicing for the procession of the queen’s coffin — which is due in London from Scotland by the end of the day.
- The queen’s coffin will travel by hearse to the Bow Room at Buckingham Palace, where it will remain overnight. It will be received by the king and queen consort and William and Catherine, Prince and Princess of Wales.
- As the king and his siblings followed the queen’s coffin through Edinburgh, police detained a man filmed heckling Prince Andrew, the queen’s third child, who has been the subject of numerous controversies. “Andrew, you’re a sick old man,” the protester called out. The prince was forced away from his public royal duties after one of the victims of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein alleged that Andrew had sexually abused her. Andrew has denied the abuse allegations and has not been criminally charged.
