Some of the Weirder Stories From the Royal Funeral

The queen's funeral on Monday drew all kinds of somber and serious coverage. And there there were stories that were anything but:

• Dropped note: A bishop dropped a small piece of paper near the queen's coffin in Westminster Abbey and Twitter all but erupted with the possibilities (and the jokes). See USA Today.
• The spider: A spider was spotted atop a note left by King Charles on his mother's coffin, and it thus became the most famous arachnid in the world for a while. See the Washington Post.
• The romance? A young man and a young woman who met in line waiting to see the queen's coffin became a viral sensation in Britain. Alas, romance does not appear to be in the cards. The Guardian explains.
• Burning question: The BBC wonders why Killing Eve and Grey's Anatomy actress Sandra Oh was at the funeral. Turns out, it's a Canadian thing.
• Canine cousins: The New York Post headline says it all on this one: "I was shocked to learn my dog is related to Queen Elizabeth’s corgis."
• Scrambled eggs: And those who need to know the queen's recipe for scrambled eggs can turn to the Daily Mail.
