So that's where the Queen went...

Maybe these videos turned up on a lot of people's Youtube recommendations, but it was interesting last week that a British guy who edits a history magazine and runs a Youtube channel had a huge number of hits for his quickly produced video explaining what the Royal crypt under the chapel at Windsor Castle looks like.  (I would like to know more about the mechanism by which the coffin disappears into the floor - like who designed it, and when.)   It's well worth watching anyway, and I didn't know the story about the re-discovery of Henry VIII's coffin - I'm rather surprised they lost track of it:

 

His follow up video about the design of royal coffins was good too:

Of course they surrounded her with lead and took her to some deep dark place. Last thing Charles wants is for her to scratch her way out of there.
