Yes, Queen Elizabeth Woodville is buried with her husband, King Edward IV, in a burial vault within St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, as per her dying wish for a simple burial next to him. Despite her royal status, she requested little ceremony, and her remains, in a simple pine coffin, were interred in the same vault, though her coffin was later damaged, mixing her bones with rubble.
Following Edward IV's sudden death in April 1483, possibly from pneumonia or being worn out from "high living", Elizabeth became queen dowager. Her young son, Edward V, became king, with his uncle, Richard, Duke of Gloucester, acting as Lord Protector.
The Queen Mother was also present. Elizabeth II's children Prince Charles and Princess Anne and her sister Princess Margaret and Margaret's husband the Earl of Snowdon were also present.
Once Henry VII came to the throne after the battle of Bosworth in 1483 she was restored as Queen Dowager. She leased the manor of Cheyneygates on 10th July 1486, where she lived for a time before withdrawing to the abbey at Bermondsey in early 1487, where she later died on 8th June 1492.
The cause of Edward's death is uncertain; allegations of poison were common in an era when lack of medical knowledge meant death often had no obvious explanation. Other suggestions include pneumonia or malaria, although both were well-known and easy to describe.
Princess Margaret didn't bow to Princess Diana's coffin at her funeral primarily due to a deep-seated resentment stemming from Diana's 1995 tell-all Panorama interview, which Margaret saw as a severe betrayal of the Royal Family and the Queen; Margaret never forgave Diana for publicly airing grievances and challenging royal decorum, viewing her as a disloyal figure, leading to her snub during the funeral procession despite their initially warm relationship.
Prince Harry whispered to his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, that he hoped she was happy and with his grandfather, Prince Philip, and expressed his admiration for her dedication to duty until the end, as revealed in his memoir Spare. He said he hoped she'd be happy and with Grandfather now, acknowledging her service through the Jubilee and her final duties.
Yes, Queen Elizabeth I(I) likely regretted the execution of Mary, Queen of Scots, on a personal level, feeling conflicted about ordering the death of a fellow monarch and cousin, though she was driven by political necessity to eliminate the threat Mary posed to her throne. She showed signs of remorse, like blaming her ministers for acting too quickly after signing the death warrant, but ultimately felt it was a necessary, albeit painful, act to secure her reign.
Meghan Markle's jewelry collection includes several heirloom pieces from the late Princess of Wales. The Duchess of Sussex wore Diana's iconic "divorce ring" to her 2018 wedding reception, for example. She has since stepped out in earrings, bracelets, and necklaces that once belonged to her late mother-in-law.
Princess Diana did not have an open-casket funeral. Since she died in a car accident and was subject to an autopsy, the chances are that nobody would have wanted the princess to have been remembered in such a way, thus keeping the casket closed.
Yes I know that the Queen Elizabeth said in an episode of The Crown that she only ever loved Prince Phillip and Porchey was just a friend, but had she loved Porchey he would have been 100% a better husband the Phillip. They had so much mutual respect for each other and had so much in common.
The tradition that Edward VI was a sickly boy has been challenged by more recent historians. At age four, he fell ill with a life-threatening "quartan fever", but, despite occasional illnesses and poor eyesight, he enjoyed generally good health until the last six months of his life.
It was controversial for Edward IV to marry Elizabeth Woodville because of her strong family ties to the House of Lancaster. Edward IV was born in 1442, making him around five years Woodville's junior.

"I've been told that I have to ask your permission before I can propose," he said to his grandmother, who responded, "Well then, I suppose I have to say yes."
However, this wish was firmly denied. An insider explained that the Late Queen refused the photo because it was a private family meeting. There were concerns that any images taken by the Sussexes' photographer could be shared with US television networks, which raised privacy issues.
Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh (then Sophie Rhys-Jones) did not attend Princess Diana's funeral in 1997, reportedly because her strong resemblance to Diana would have been too upsetting for the grieving crowds, a decision made thoughtfully by Sophie herself. At the time, she was dating Prince Edward, but they were not yet engaged or married.
While Princess Diana had several significant relationships, many sources, including her butler and friends, point to Pakistani heart surgeon Dr. Hasnat Khan as the true love of her life, describing him as her "soulmate" and the man she wished to build a future with, even considering marriage and moving abroad, though their intense, private affair ended due to the overwhelming media pressure.
