The Prince's body is contained in a Sarcophagus of Aberdeen granite (weighing nine tons) supported by a block of black marble, given specially for the purpose by the King of the Belgians. On top lies the figure of the Prince, sculptured by Baron Marochetti. The Queen took the keenest interest in the making of the mausoleum, pictured here by Wilson of Aberdeen.
