I know that after the death of prince rainier III, prince albert is going to succed him after 3 months.
What is the mourning period of each royal family to suceed in the throne?

[norwegianne]

King Olav died in January 1991, and King Harald received the blessing from the bishops in Nidarosdomen in June the same year. However, he swore to uphold the Constitution four days after his father's death.

How long the period of mourning lasts, varies, I think. There is the heavy period of mourning, which I've read lasts for about three months, where in the Royal Family doesn't undertake any official engagements.

[GrandDuchess]

When a monarch dies, the heir succeeds him/her as the new monarch as soon as they have died. The enthronement ceremony or whatever is held takes place later of course.

I believe I've read something like what Norwegianne says, that 3 months is a normal period of Court mourning.

That would probably depend on when in the year the Queen will die. I can't imagine that if the Queen died in August that they would have a January coronation.

Does anyone know what date Princess Beatrice (daughter of Queen Victoria; 1857-1944) was buried at Whippingham Church on the Isle of Wight? I know it was sometime in August 1945, but the exact date would be helpful.

[magnik]

The funeral of Queen Victoria took place 2nd February 1901

According to Wikipedia princess Beatrice was buried on the 3th of November, 1944 (she died on the 26th of October), her body was exhumed in August, 1945 and reunited with her husband, Prince Henry, at Whippingham Church.

Some sources say she was finally buried in August, some sources that in September, like this here:

charles coronation would take months of planning
george vi died in feb 52 and the queen wasnt crowned until june 53

(only exception being after edward viii abdicated his planned coronation went ahead just as planned only with a different monarch)

King George died in February 52 so it was 16 months till Elizabeth's coronation. In Tonga Queen Salote died in December 1965 and her son wasn't crowned until July 1967.

In a few Arab countries such as the Gulf, mourning period is 40 days.
