Claire Foy (as the Queen): Two mourning costumesSeason 1, Episode 2, 'Hyde Park Corner', and Season 1, Episode 3, 'Windsor'
Two custom-made black ensembles, the first costume; with double-breasted coat with velvet collar and belt, a tulle underskirt, a pillbox hat with organza veil and a pair of leather court shoes; the second with single-breasted wool coat, cloche hat with black ribbon and feather detail, a pair of long black gloves, and a pair of leather court shoes, all items in costume two (except the underskirt and gloves) with handwritten production labels Elizabeth (8)
FootnotesThe first costume is inspired by the dress and coat designed for and worn by the then Princess Elizabeth.
King George VI died on the 6th of February 1952, at age 56. His funeral procession was the first time such an event for a British Monarch had ever been televised, and as such this allowed the costume team for the production to consult it for accuracy.
King George VI's coffin initially rested at St. Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham, before being moved to London. The King's coffin went from Sandringham to King's Cross Station by train and then went on a three-mile procession to Westminster Hall.
It was there that the King would lie in state for the next few days; despite the cold bite of the February winter, over 300,000 came to pay their respects, creating a queue that extended over Vauxhall Bridge.
The actual funeral took place on the 15th of February at St George's Chapel, in Windsor. The King's coffin was draped with the royal standard, topped with the crown, sceptre and orb, and was carried by soldiers. His wife, Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, and their two daughters, Queen Elizabeth II, and Princess Margaret were all in attendance.
The King was originally interred in the Royal Vault; however, after its completion, he was moved to the King George VI Memorial Chapel at Windsor Castle on the 26th of March 1969. The same Chapel contains the final resting place of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, and the ashes of Princess Margaret.
