Who is Buried in the Royal Vault?

Who is Buried in the Royal Vault?

Author: Lindsay Holiday October 1, 2024 Duration: 28:22
On September 19th, 2022 over 4 billion people watched as the coffin of Queen Elizabeth II was lowered into the royal vault at St. George’s chapel, Windsor Castle. The monarch who had reigned for 70 years thus became part of history. And she was in astonishing historic company. She joined 10 monarchs, 8 consorts and over 30 other members of the royal family dating as far back as the 1400s, who are also interred below St. George’s chapel, in the royal vault and in other crypts around the ancient building. Let’s explore the numerous burial vaults of Windsor, dig up the past and find out who else is spending eternity with the Queen. Monarchs and Consorts: King Henry VI King Edward IV & Queen Elizabeth Woodville King Henry VIII & Queen Jane Seymour King George III King George IV King William IV & Queen Adelaide King George V of Hanover King Edward VII & Queen Alexandra of Denmark King George V & Queen Mary of Teck King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, The Queen Mother Queen Elizabeth II & Prince Philip Join me every Tuesday when I'm Spilling the Tea on History!

Every Tuesday, Lindsay Holiday pours a fresh cup and settles in to share the fascinating, often overlooked tales from our past. History Tea Time is built on the idea that history is best served with a generous helping of personality and a focus on the compelling narratives that textbooks tend to skip. Lindsay’s approach feels like a conversation with a knowledgeable friend who has a real knack for digging up the juiciest details. While you’ll often find episodes delving into the lives of queens and royalty from across the globe, there’s a consistent spotlight on women’s history, bringing forward the stories of figures who shaped the world from behind the throne or beyond the traditional spotlight. Listening to this podcast feels like uncovering a secret side of the past, one where the human drama, ambitions, and scandals are given center stage. Each episode is a deep dive into a specific story, told with clarity and a genuine enthusiasm that makes even the most complex historical moments accessible and utterly engaging. If you’ve ever wanted the real, unvarnished, and truly interesting stories behind the names and dates, this is your weekly invitation to listen in.
