The funeral of Queen Elizabeth, England’s longest reigning monarch, will cost 6 billions of pounds, according to the British press. The state funeral, which will be open to the public, is expected to cost the British economy billions of pounds due to expenses such as funeral expenses, public holidays declared due to the funeral, and the coronation of the new monarch, King Charles III.
The Queen will be laid to rest at Westminster Abbey, where she married her late husband, Prince Philip, who died in 2021. World leaders and politicians, including US President Joe Biden, will attend the ceremony, which will take place on Monday, September 19. The Queen’s coffin will be taken from St Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh to Buckingham Palace in London at 17:00 today.
