I remembered this thread when what3words came up in the discussion of the queue for QEII’s lying in state: [Breaking - The Queen is unwell (has died): 8 Sep 2022 - #607 by hajario](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/breaking-the-queen-is-unwell-has-died-8-sep-2022/971212/607)

Looking at the map of London, I found a couple of appropriate ones: in Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, plays.blast.royal and winks.stage.libraries on the stage itself

While there’s a lot of 3m squares on Earth, so there’s bound to be some coincidences, assuming these were randomly generated, I’m guessing they filled in some on their own as Easter Eggs.

Yes, I found what look like more Easter eggs at the Globe: skips.drama.wages and poetic.given.sleepy . And loves.dreams.oasis which might be a reference to _A Midsummer Night’s Dream_?
