Thanks Candace. From the diagram it indicates that the Queen's coffin was placed above Prince Philip's and adjacent to her mother's so it seems that order of death has been followed after all. Wonder why Prince Philip wasn't just placed in the vault after his funeral instead of having to deal with the burial of both coffins?
While Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was still alive she might have been insistent that her parents’ and sister’s resting spot go as undisturbed as possible and her late husband might have also agreed and wanted this as well (I actually think that the late royal couple might have jointly agreed and insisted upon this long before their deaths). I am sure the work to open that particular vault is more difficult than moving a coffin up or down from the Royal Vault proper itself, so sensible to do it once.
