From its majestic castle to its charming streets lined with medieval architecture, Windsor exudes an aura of regality and grandeur, making it an ideal destination for those seeking a glimpse into the world of royalty.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Windsor is intimately connected with the Royal Family, and has been for over 900 years! The first king to use the surname &#8220;Windsor&#8221; was George V in 1917. This page contains links of interest to Royal-watchers. For information on the history of Windsor town and Castle, see our Windsor Castle page where you can also purchase and download <a href=\"https:\/\/royal-windsor.com\/what-to-see\/windsor-castle-tickets\/\">Windsor Castle Tickets<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.royal.uk\/role-monarchy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Official Royal Website<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TheBritishMonarchy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Royal Family Facebook page<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"3:1-3:80\"><strong>Windsor Castle<\/strong>, the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world, stands as a symbol of British royal power. Its imposing presence dominates the town&#8217;s skyline, its towers and ramparts reaching towards the heavens. Within the castle&#8217;s fortified walls, a world of splendour unfolds, from the grandeur of <strong>St George&#8217;s Chapel<\/strong>, where monarchs have been crowned and buried for centuries, to the opulent <strong>State Apartments<\/strong>, where the royal family once entertained and hosted guests.<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"5:1-5:407\">Beyond the castle gates, Windsor&#8217;s royal connections continue to weave their way through the town&#8217;s fabric. <strong>The Royal Mews<\/strong>, home to the King&#8217;s horses and carriages, offers visitors a chance to witness the grandeur of royal transport. Eton College, one of the world&#8217;s most prestigious schools, has educated generations of young princes and aristocrats. And the Long Walk, a sweeping processional route lined with ancient trees, provides a picturesque setting for strolling amidst royal grandeur.<\/p>\n<p
