Slept through the funeral? Well, we live blogged it. Our sincerest apologies 💀
What does one wear to the 6 AM livestream of the Queen’s funeral, held at the Queen Vic British pub on H Street? Mourning garb? Bar clothes? An off-to-work-once-she’s-buried ensemble? I’m agonizing over this choice while using my phone as a flashlight so I won’t wake my husband and dog, neither of whom care about the monarchy.
The Queen’s coffin has now arrived at Westminster Abbey, which is apparently also where she was married and crowned. Would it be creepy to live your whole life knowing where your funeral would be held? Are the other royals in attendance all imagining their own funerals, wondering whether they’ll be this good?Westminster Abbey is weird. The floor has checkerboard tiling, like a 1950s kitchen. I’m sure it’s not linoleum, but it looks that way.
Is it a casket or a coffin? Whatever it is, the way it’s draped with the flag makes it look like one of those garish fondant cakes. I worry slightly that I’m being disrespectful to the British, but honestly their press has been so shitty to Meghan that I think it’s fine to be a little grouchy today.The men surrounding the coffin are wearing hats that look like poles with toilet paper streamers hanging down. I’m not kidding. I took a picture. It’s like a bathroom maypole.
