Windsor Castle Tour! (2022) #WINDSORCASTLE
Visiting the magificent Windsor Castle on a chilly spring day! The Queen was in residence too, and i was in the right place at the right time when her corgi's returned home after being taken for a walk. Sadly, filming in the state apartments and St George's Chapel is forbidden, but I was able to capture plenty of footage from the rest of the complex, and of course, the gift shop!
Windsor Castle is a royal residence at Windsor in the English county of Berkshire. It is strongly associated with the English and succeeding British royal family, and embodies almost a millennium of architectural history.
Windsor Castle, part of the Occupied Royal Palaces Estate, is owned by Queen Elizabeth II in right of the Crown, and day-to-day management is by the Royal Household. In terms of population, Windsor Castle is the largest inhabited castle in the world and the longest-occupied palace in Europe, but it also remains a functioning royal home. The Queen has increasingly used the castle as a royal palace as well as her weekend home and it is now as often used for state banquets and official entertaining as Buckingham Palace.

Interesting Facts about Windsor Castle
History of Windsor Castle
History of Windsor Castle United Kingdom
The Windsor Castle was built in 11th century by William the Conqueror to protect Norman dominance around the borders of London and to oversee a very important part of River Thames and Windsor forest. Initially the castle was built with wood but was gradually replaced with stone fortifications. Henry I was the first King who used the castle as home. Henry III ordered to build a luxurious royal palace inside the castle in the mid of 13th century.
King Edward III was the one who spent a huge amount of money to rebuild a grand set of buildings in the castle that became the most expensive building project in England of that time. A lot of art works were collected, and decoration works were installed throughout the palace and castle. Unfortunately, in November 1992 a fire broke out and damaged almost 100 rooms and some of the art works. Almost 40 Million GBP were spent on the restoration works of these rooms in 1997.
The castle survived the attacks during First Baron’s war in 13th century, The English Civil war in 17th century and was also used as a royal refuge during the second world war.

State Apartments
If you take the ceremonial route, you will see the main State apartments. These are used by the Queen and the members of Royal family to host official visits by head of states from other countries. These rooms are also used for many inauguration ceremonies, and awards ceremonies for British men and women for their outstanding achievements. The Grand Reception room is such a magnificently designed room with beautiful chandeliers and the red carpet at the floor making a path. There is a beautiful green large Malachite Urn near the large window, which was presented to Queen Victoria by Tsar Nicholas in 1839. The walls of this room have been decorated with gold. The room used to be a main ballroom in the castle and was destroyed in 1992. The room was restored in its original condition in 1997.
After the Grand Reception, you will see the Waterloo Chambers decorated with paintings, pictures, a lot of red chairs and a big beautiful banquet table. The gold roof is amazing with 5 beautiful chandeliers.
If you take the other route (Historic Route), you will see the rooms that were built for Charles II and his Queen. These are a series of room which get smaller as you move towards the more private areas. Admissions to these rooms were strictly controlled so that the only the most important people could gain access to King and Queen.
The semi-state apartments were created for George IV which feature lavish decorations and paintings. Some of the furnishing and fittings were taken from the Carlton’s house which was the former residence of George IV in London. These rooms are used by the Queen for official entertainment and events and are the most lavishly decorated rooms of the Windsor Castle.

Windsor Castle
England’s Windsor Castle has been home to 39 British monarchs, with its history stretching back nearly 1,000 years to William the Conqueror. My guest today is Deborah Cadbury, the author of Queen Victoria’s Matchmaking: The Royal Marriages That Shaped Europe, among many other books. We chat about the illustrious history of the castle, what historical events took place within its walls, and what it was like to do research in the Windsor Castle archives. British history buffs will not want to miss this episode.
Windsor and William the Conqueror Windsor Castle is the oldest occupied castle in the world, but it’s even more than that. As Deborah tells me in this episode of History Fan Girl, the grounds of Windsor Castle are 13 acres, so it has the feel of a town. But it’s also a private residence and a window into 1,000 years of British history. It was originally picked by Saxon kings as a fortress, but in the 11th century, William the Conqueror chose it as one of nine castles to form a defensive ring outside of London. And it was chosen because of its elevation, its close proximity to the Thames, and just a day’s march from the Tower of London. It started out as a very simple design, with the round tower at the heart of the castle being one of the very first structures erected.
The Royal Archives of Windsor Castle Anyone who loves history can appreciate the excitement in Deborah’s voice when she describes visiting the Windsor Archives. You have to, of course, first get permission to view the archives, and then you go right into the heart of the castle, climbing 200 stone steps to, as she said, “another world.” The first time she was granted permission, she was researching King George VI’s experience in World War II. And having those diaries from the king opened up the royal family to the historian in a whole new way. Deborah shares some fascinating insights into the monarchy, but also shares the enthralling process of the historian at work.
From William the Conqueror to King Edward The stories Deborah has researched in Windsor Castle could fill a book (in fact, they’ve filled several of her books). When I ask her about events that have taken place in the castle, she speaks of King Edward abdicating the throne, Queen Victoria falling in love, and King Albert passing away. She told me about how William the Conqueror began building the castle, but his grandson made it into the stone structure it is now. But perhaps no event is more significant than the signing of the Magna Carta, which happened with Windsor Castle as the backdrop. And when you’re talking about 1,000 years of British history, you know there’s a lot more going on than that, and Deborah is an amazing storyteller to revel in that drama.
Windsor Castle: Where Britain unfolded If you can’t climb the 200 steps to view the Royal Archives, the next best thing is listening to a wonderful historian like Deborah spin tales of Britain’s history. In addition to all of the stories that unfolded within Windsor’s walls, she gave us a sense of what architectural highlights to look for should you visit, like the dollhouse and St. George’s Chapel. We also discuss Queen Victoria’s legendary matchmaking skills, and Deborah’s beautiful book. If you love British history, or have binged your way through The Crown on Netflix and are suffering withdrawals, you need to listen to this episode.

A Walk Around Windsor Castle
Windsor Castle is a royal residence at Windsor in the English county of Berkshire. The castle is notable for its long association with the English and later British royal family and also for its architecture. The original castle was built in the 11th century after the Norman invasion by William the Conqueror. Since the time of Henry I, it has been used by succeeding monarchs and is the longest-occupied palace in Europe. The castle's lavish, early 19th-century State Apartments are architecturally significant, described by art historian Hugh Roberts as a superb and unrivalled sequence of rooms widely regarded as the finest and most complete expression of later Georgian taste. The castle includes the 15th-century St George's Chapel, considered by historian John Martin Robinson to be one of the supreme achievements of English Perpendicular Gothic design. More than 500 people live and work in Windsor Castle.
Originally designed to protect Norman dominance around the outskirts of London, and to oversee a strategically important part of the River Thames, Windsor Castle was built as a motte and bailey, with three wards surrounding a central mound. Gradually replaced with stone fortifications, the castle withstood a prolonged siege during the First Barons' War at the start of the 13th century. Henry III built a luxurious royal palace within the castle during the middle of the century, and Edward III went further, rebuilding the palace to produce an even grander set of buildings in what would become the most expensive secular building project of the entire Middle Ages in England. Edward's core design lasted through the Tudor period, during which Henry VIII and Elizabeth I made increasing use of the castle as a royal court and centre for diplomatic entertainment.
Windsor Castle survived the tumultuous period of the English Civil War, when it was used as a military headquarters for Parliamentary forces and a prison for Charles I. During the Restoration, Charles II rebuilt much of Windsor Castle with the help of architect Hugh May, creating a set of extravagant, Baroque interiors that are still admired. After a period of neglect during the 18th century, George III and George IV renovated and rebuilt Charles II's palace at colossal expense, producing the current design of the State Apartments, full of Rococo, Gothic and Baroque furnishings. Victoria made minor changes to the castle, which became the centre for royal entertainment for much of her reign. Windsor Castle was used as a refuge for the royal family during the Luftwaffe bombing campaigns of the Second World War, and survived a fire in 1992. It is a popular tourist attraction, a venue for hosting state visits, and the preferred weekend home of Elizabeth II.
