For a sec I thought oh that’s sweet.
Then I realized he was probably in pain,” one commenter wrote.

Millions of TikTokers watched a video expanding on the materials used to create the Queen’s coffin. @jessweslie #greenscreen #queenelizabeth #kingcharles #princecharles #princewillaim #katemiddleton #princeharry #meghanmarkle #fyp ♬ original sound – Jessica Weslie Arena In one TikTok with 4. 1 million views, a user named Jessica Weslie Arena, who has been sharing several facts about the royal family on her account over the past few days, filmed herself saying, “Queen Elizabeth’s coffin was made 30 years ago,” and “the coffin is made out of oak, specifically English oak, which is very hard to get a hold of.
” Funeral directors for the royal family confirmed to USA Today that the coffin was made in the 1990s, adding that most coffins today are made from American oak, and a coffin made of English oak, like the Queen’s, would be very expensive today since the material is so rare. The Telegraph reported that coffins from the royal family are traditionally made of oak from the Sandringham estate, one of the royal residences, but the outlet added that precise details about the Queen’s coffin appear to have gotten lost in the years after it was ordered. TikTokers have learned that the Queen will be buried beside her parents and sister.

Many TikTok commenters have been asking creators who posted about the Queen’s burial why Princess Margaret was cremated and not buried.
