I am lucky to live in a small town in Berkshire that has many attractions, not least the favourite home of Her Majesty The Queen. Some of the attractions though are not as well known as the Castle and Frogmore House is one of those gems. It is only open for two weekends a year, the reason for this? It is the private garden used by the Royal Family when they are in residence at the Castle. It is also the final resting place of many members of the Royal Family.
The house was renovated many years ago and the inside is the same as if Queen Victoria's mother, The Duchess of Kent, had gone out for a drive in a carriage. It really is beautiful inside and well worth visiting.
Queen Victoria and Prince Albert have their final resting place in the gardens in the Royal Mausoleum and for many years you were able to go in and pay your respects to the longest reigning British monarch and her husband. However for the past few years, the mausoleum has been closed as part of the roof has started to fall into the main part of the building.
Many recent members of the Royal Family are buried in the Royal Burial Ground, including the Duke and Duchess of Kent, their son in law, Sir Angus Ogilvy. Also the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and their son, Prince William of Gloucester. Also present are the remains of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.
