Queen Elizabeth II chose to reside at Windsor Castle over the lavish 775 room Buckingham Palace in the heart of the capital - find out why.
September 19, 2022 - 16:07 BST Rachel Avery Whilst Queen Elizabeth II thoroughly enjoyed her spectacular Platinum Jubilee celebrations in central London earlier this year, Her Majesty stayed at her Windsor Castle residence rather than the much more conveniently located Buckingham Palace in the heart of the capital.
The monarch was clearly very fond of Windsor Castle, which boasts 484,000 square feet of space and 1000 rooms, as she chose to spend the majority of the coronavirus pandemic at the 900-year-old property along with the 'HMS bubble' of 22 staff members.The castle was also where her husband the Duke of Edinburgh spent the last of his days, and according to The Telegraph these were enjoyed with a blanket on his lap and the sun on his face.
It is believed Her Majesty had intended to spend the festive period at Sandringham this winter, with royal staff also being informed that Windsor Castle was set to be her permanent home moving forward.The royal family will hopefully take some comfort in knowing that the Queen will now be laid to rest at St. George's Chapel at her beloved Windsor Castle.
