Chapter Fifty-five: The Funeral Begins

On November 29, 1900, the long-prepared funeral of Queen Victoria finally began solemnly.

As a highly esteemed former monarch of the United Kingdom, Queen Victoria had very detailed arrangements for her own funeral, all of which Edward allowed.

Among them, a particularly personal touch was Queen Victoria's specific request that all those attending the funeral should have elements of white present, even the horses at the funeral were to be draped in white cloth.

Of course, this also included the protagonist of this funeral, Queen Victoria. The Queen, dressed in pure white wedding dress with a white veil over her head, symbolized the queen's fidelity to love and marriage.

In order to abide by Queen Victoria's will, William II, Edward, Arthur, Princess Beatrice, and the queen's confidante, James Reed, together with three faithful servants, positioned at the queen's head and at her sides, gently placed the queen into the coffin.
