Why are people saying the Queen isn't in the coffin?

I keep hearing people suggesting the Queen isn't in the coffin as apparently the same happened with the Queen's grandfather.

Sounds like a load of rubbish to me. It would be insane if she wasn't.

I don’t think she is either.

GianinaC · 14/09/2022 09:53

Really? Where is she is then?

Ifailed · 14/09/2022 09:53

Assuming she's actually dead, where else would the body be?

Where else is she? With Elvis?

She will be embalmed and it’s lead lined.

Ridiculous theory!!

Robinsonsquashedme · 14/09/2022 09:57

I have to admit that I wondered if it was or not.

I do think it's a massive security nightmare having her body being transported from one end of the UK to another whilst the entire journey is broadcast over international TV. I'd imagine if some terrorist organisation wanted to intercept the coffin and hold it for ransom, all of this made it a hell of a lot easier for them to do so!

ClaudineClare · 14/09/2022 09:58

All those people waiting in line for hours to view the coffin would be a bit miffed if it was empty.

LongLivedQueen · 14/09/2022 10:00

Because people are stupid and believe any old bullshit they read on Facebook or Tiktok.

ApolloandDaphne · 14/09/2022 10:00

There is no way they would go through all this ceremonial stuff with an empty coffin. That's just nonsense.

GianinaC · 14/09/2022 10:01

Have you not heard of embalming?

Andromachehadabadday · 14/09/2022 10:01

Because some people like to pretend they are more intelligent than everyone else so make something up. Something that can’t be proved either way.

Or, as we have seen on MN this week, people like to pretend they have inside information.

More so that when she was alive?

Protecting her now is probably a lot easier.

TheLoupGarou · 14/09/2022 10:03

Because they are loons.

ClaudineClare · 14/09/2022 10:05

The reason it is lead lined is because the coffin won't be buried, but placed in a cault I think. If it wasn't, things would get very unpleasant.

ClaudineClare · 14/09/2022 10:05

Cault? What's that. Vault.

Totally this. Look at Charles walking around greeting people or any of the royals right now.

Surely that is more of a risk than somebody who is already dead.

The idea she isn't in there makes no sense to me at all.

SpiderinaWingMirror · 14/09/2022 10:10

Oh for god sake. Can't imagine Anne trailing around after an empty box.
Some people really shouldn't be allowed on the Internet.

Deux · 14/09/2022 10:11

What’s totally crazy OP. Good grief.

This makes it sound like they've just popped her in the back of a DHL van down the M4.
I'm fairly confident that armed forces and secret service will be keeping an eye out to make sure nobody can swipe the coffin and hold it to ransom.

Cryingatwork · 14/09/2022 10:24

Because people love a batshit conspiracy theory.
it won't smell a it's lead lined, that's why it's so heavy
As for the security angle, the royal family are often in public events, their movements are known, this is not an out of the ordinary situation for people to know where they will be, living Royal family members have travelled for the known journey, a live person is far more of a security problem then a corpse and very heavy coffin (even just the logistics of trying to hold an incredibly heavy coffin it for ransom are ridiculous)

Mardyface · 14/09/2022 10:33

Because the nation is currently a couple (of hundred) of marmalade sandwiches short of a picnic?

You have GOT to be kidding me. She’s been embalmed FFS.

Even if it wasn't being flown in military aircraft and guarded incredibly well everywhere it goes, what exactly would happen if it was kidnapped. I can just imagine the kidnappers call "Give us £1 million or we'll kill her..." not the most successful plan.

Some people are conspiracy theory nutters and other people are stupid to believe them. Waste of space.
