The Queen's already signed off her own funeral

The Queen is the longest serving monarch in British history and it’s well known that major media outlets have pre-prepared days of round-the-clock coverage for when she dies.

But, what may or may not surprise you, is just how much involvement Her Majesty has had with the royal household’s plans.

Royal producer Nick Bullen has revealed the Queen already knows the content of the obituaries being made about her.

“Every detail of the Queen’s funeral will have been approved by the Queen. I don’t believe she’s left anything to chance,” he tells Yahoo UK‘s The Royal Box.

“So it is her final piece of control, I imagine.”

She’s been on the throne for 66 years and, at 92 years of age, it’s likely that detailed plans have been put in place for her funeral.

Nick’s production company Trueroyalty.tv has made its own documentary about the Queen and her role as a working woman in a man’s world, to be aired in the event of her death.

He knows the extent to which the Queen is involved in every detail of royal life.

“The Queen’s 90th birthday celebrations were a five-day extravaganza. We had over 1100 horses at Windsor, a cast of thousands, Dame Shirley Bassey, Dame Helen Mirren – they were all there, everybody was there. And the whole Royal Family. I mean, literally, the entire Royal Family,” he said.

“And the Queen was involved throughout the process. So much so, that during rehearsals the Duke of Edinburgh came and sat behind us in the seats taking notes on the rehearsals to take back up to the Queen. And I’m told, I don’t know if this is true but I really hope it is true, that she was up on one of the towers at Windsor Castle with binoculars, looking down at the rehearsals. So, properly, properly involved.

“She turned up one day – we had this LED digital display going around the arena – and she looked at it and she didn’t say anything for a while. But we all knew something was coming. Then she turned around, and said: ‘No, I think we’ll lose the digital display. This isn’t a football match.’ The digital display was gone, like that.”

According to Nick, the Queen always has her eye across everything.

He also confirmed the decision to hold Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank’s wedding at St George’s Chapel in Windsor was made by the Queen.

“From the moment the engagement came, she said ‘it’s Windsor,'” Nick said.
