(CNN) --

Buckingham Palace released a photo of the final resting place of Queen Elizabeth II, located in St. George's Chapel, following her burial in Windsor on Monday.

On Monday night a tombstone engraved with the late monarch's name was installed in the King George VI Memorial Chapel, an annex to the main chapel, after a private service attended by her family.

The slab is hand-carved from black Belgian marble and features brass letter inlays with the names of her parents, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, followed by the late queen's name along with that of her husband, Prince Philip. .

A star separates the two royal couples, and the years of birth and death are inscribed next to each name.

All four royals were members of the Order of the Garter, the country's highest order of chivalry dating back to medieval times and the reign of Edward III.

The members of the order were handpicked by the sovereign in recognition of their service to the nation and include various members of the royal family, former prime ministers and other important figures.

The spiritual home of the order is the Chapel of Saint George.

The queen was buried after a state funeral at London's Westminster Abbey, attended by leaders from around the world.

More than 26 million people in the UK tuned in to watch the funeral, the first for a British monarch to be televised.

When the queen's husband of 73 years, Prince Philip, passed away in April 2021, his coffin was initially placed in the Royal Vault, located below St. George's Chapel.

He remained there until now, that he could be relocated to the memorial chapel.

The ashes of the queen's sister, Princess Margaret, who died in 2002, are also buried in the chapel.

Royal residences, including Windsor Castle, have been closed since the monarch's death on September 8.

But the general public will be able to visit the queen's resting place when the castle reopens on September 29.

Some areas within royal residences did reopen to tourists on Thursday, including the Queen's Gallery at Buckingham Palace, the Palace of Holyroodhouse and the Queen's Gallery in Edinburgh, Scotland, according to the Royal Collection Trust.

However, the State Rooms and Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace will not reopen this year.

In addition, special exhibitions marking the Queen's Platinum Jubilee at Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle and the Palace of Holyroodhouse will not reopen to the public, the Royal Collection Trust added.

King Charles III

The photograph of Elizabeth II's tombstone is published a day after Buckingham Palace shared a new portrait of King Charles III signing papers from the sovereign's characteristic red box.

The picture was taken by PA Images of Great Britain and shows Carlos carrying out some of his tasks last week.

"The picture was taken in the 18th Century Room at Buckingham Palace last week and shows His Majesty the King carrying out official government duties from the King's Red Box," the palace said in a statement.

The red boxes contain important documents from UK government ministers and representatives from the Commonwealth of Nations and beyond.

"Documents are sent from the Private Secretary's Office to the King, wherever he may be in residence, in a locked red box," it added.

In the background of the photograph of the king, you can see another black and white of the late monarch and the Duke of Edinburgh, which was a Christmas gift to the couple from King George VI in 1951.

The royal family will observe another week of mourning after the state funeral at the request of the king.

Charles III has reportedly now returned to Scotland with the Queen Consort to mourn in private.
