'Breaking the stick' or 'breaking the wand' is the final symbolic act to take place at a British monarch's funeral, signifying the official end of the Lord Chamberlain's service to the King or Queen.

 

'Breaking the stick', also known as 'breaking the wand of office', is the final royal tradition to be observed during a British monarch's funeral.

 

The symbolic act sees the Lord Chamberlain end his service to the deceased King or Queen with the ceremonial breaking of a white staff or stick before the sovereign's coffin is lowered into the Royal Vault.
