While King George VI and the Queen Mother are buried in the tomb, Princess Margaret was cremated and her ashes placed with her parents, despite cremation not being a traditional process for the royals.
Some have speculated that part of the reason why Princess Margaret was cremated was so she would fit with the rest of her family in the burial spot.
“I think she’d like to be with the late King, which she will now be. There’s room I think for her to be with him now. She just said she was going to be cremated,” said Lady Glenconner, a former lady-in-waiting to Margaret, according toThe Scotsman.
