A card in the flowers on top of the Queen’s coffin read simply: “In loving and devoted memory. Charles R.”
The note was placed on top of a wreath of flowers.
Cut from the gardens of Buckingham Palace, Clarence House, and Highgrove House, the flowers and foliage have been chosen for their symbolism.
They include rosemary, for remembrance, and myrtle cut from a plant that was grown from a sprig of myrtle in the Queen’s wedding bouquet, an ancient symbol of a happy marriage.
