Spider spotted crawling on top of Queen Elizabeth’s casket at funeral
A certain spider just wanted to say goodbye to his late queen.
The world — and an emboldened arachnid — gathered Monday morning to mourn Queen Elizabeth at her funeral service.
Eagle-eyed royal watchers spied a crawling creature on top of a letter that was placed onto the coffin.
The card was actually a letter that King Charles III wrote to his mother that will be buried with her. The note read, “In loving and devoted memory. Charles R.”
Viewers couldn’t help but notice the spider during the ceremony and tweeted their thoughts after spotting the creature.
“Throughout the full of the Queen’s funeral I keep thinking about the spider I saw on her flowers and where the f – – k it is now???? Wouldn’t catch me picking her back up I’d be out of there,” someone wondered.
“Did anyone just see the spider on the queen’s casket,” one added. Others chimed in: “Bro there’s a spider running across the card on the queen’s coffin.”
Another said: “Whoever left the #interflora card on the queen’s flowers didn’t notice, what is now, the worlds most famous spider [sic].”
“The Queen and the spider. That’s a book title right there,” another interjected. “There was a spider on The Queen’s Coffin. As a spider fan, I am elated! Luckiest Spider in the world!”
“Could we get David Attenborough to narrate this scene. I want to know the species and its natural history,” quipped one web user.
“Princess Charlotte’s web…take a bow,” said another.
Also on top of the coffin was an intricate bouquet of flowers that the new king, 73, ordered.

The floral wreath contained symbolic blooms that included some of the same kinds of blossoms she carried in her bouquet during her wedding to her late husband Prince Philip.
The extravagant bouquet — which featured Blooms gathered from Buckingham Palace and her Highness’ other royal abodes — included rosemary, a symbol for remembrance and myrtle to represent a happy marriage. The latter was snipped from a plant grown from a sprig of myrtle that was originally included in the Queen’s wedding arrangement when she married King Philip in 1947.
The royal family tweeted about the wreath on Sept. 19, penning: “At The King’s request, the wreath contains foliage of Rosemary, English Oak and Myrtle (cut from a plant grown from Myrtle in The Queen’s wedding bouquet) and flowers, in shades of gold, pink and deep burgundy, with touches of white, cut from the gardens of Royal Residences.”
