      Thank you for the video. Windsor Castle is so beautiful and so powerful.
      My sister traced our lineage to England for a class project. She found out that I am the 23rd Great Granddaughter of His Majesty King Edward III, 3rd Cousin to King Henry Viii, and 18th cousin to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth 2nd. We keep discovering so much information and people. It's very exciting.

    Thank you for a wonderful tour and just perfect for those of us who are missing the opportunity to travel. I have visited Windsor Castle twice, the first time was while the restoration was happening after the fire. At the time it was devastating to see the damage and many of the works of art in the surrounding rooms had been moved to safety. One of my lasting impressions was what on the walls behind where the paintings normally hung in the Waterloo Chamber. When the paintings were removed for safe keeping during WW2 the spaces were filled with colourful drawings, commissioned I believe by a young Elizabeth. When I returned almost 20 years later it was amazing to see the rooms restored to their former beauty but I couldn't help but remember what lay behind the art masterpieces. I loved your tour. It was amazing to see the castle minus the crowds so you could really appreciate its magnificence.

    Each time I see a photo of Windsor I remember a story about a comment heard by Prince Philip made by a visiting tourist. The woman wondered why they had built the castle so close to the airport, when you could hear several of the flights directly overhead. Apparently Prince Philip found it quite amusing, as he repeated the incident to others

I think it helps if you're doing the video live per say, rather than talking over the video afterwards, if that makes sense. You really feel like we're there with you when you do the video live (or talk live).

    I visited Windsor on my 2nd trip to London. We did book a bus tour and I loved our guide. He was a retired teacher and knew current world history as well. He was quite entertaining. This was in 2012, btw The funniest thing was that Windsor was our only stop and he promised us a leisurely tour. However, we arrived at the same time as several bus loads of French school girls and he wanted to beat them to the queue. We went literally running up the hill and we were on a dead run the rest of the time, haha. Would love to go back for that leisurely tour instead! Thanks for this one!

    My dearest Sinead: I hope you realize how important your *service* is to those of us who can't possibly experience these amazing historical places in person. As a now 72-year-old "royalist/monarchist" since 2016, I've been obsessed with UK's history! A correspondent of mine asked, "Just a curious question - what turned you into such an enthusiastic royal Anglophile?" It all started when the *VICTORIA* TV series was released here in the US ... which sadly ended unfinished without explanation. Then came the controversial *THE CROWN* series.🤔 The two show's Facebook fan groups inspired more research. Everything I've discovered since has been overwhelmingly fascinating ... and now here's YOU! 🤩👏👏👏
    One more thing: That tiny out-of-sight niche in St. George's Chapel where King George VI, Queen Mother Elizabeth & Princess Margaret are interred is pathetic! It's difficult for me to accept the idea of placing Prince Philip & Queen Elizabeth II there! 🤨

      As it was explained at the time of Prince Philip’s funeral service, this is only a temporary holding place for King George VI, the Queen Mother, Princess Margaret and Prince Philip. When Queen Elizabeth II passes, they will all of them be moved to a mausoleum on the grounds of Windsor Castle named in honor of the Queen’s father.

      @@vernitasafford2379 Dear Vernita: Thank you. I don't recall the mentioning of an eventual standalone *mausoleum* for all 5 of them at the time of Prince Philip's funeral or that it would be dedicated to George VI. In my search for confirmation to your statement, the only thing that came close was/is:
      *Q* "Will the Queen be buried in a mausoleum?"
      *A* "Queen Victoria and her beloved Prince Albert are buried together in a mausoleum in the Windsor Castle gardens, so the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh may have opted for a similar arrangement. Apr 17, 2021."
      I may not be alive to see the finale and must trust Charles to make it glorious ... hoping that he names it for his mother, UK'S longest reigning monarch and in 2 year's time, God willing, the WORLD'S longest!

Made for a proper inspiration with a pot of Barry's alongside a scone slathered with Bewley's champagne and strawberry jam.

    Beautiful tour. The HD video is a treat to watch. I went to Windsor Castle 8 years ago and was able to climb the Round Tower but St George’s Chapel was closed, so I’ve never seen the Horseshoe Cloisters. I think you mixed up George IV and William IV a couple of times. You called Princess Charlotte the daughter of William IV, she was the daughter of George IV.

      @@Sineadlondontourguide Hi Sinead. They made the point that the Round Tower is actually the “D shaped tower”. And that we shouldn’t take pictures of the Upper Ward because it’s the private residence of HM. The view is great of course and you feel like you’re retreating into a keep under siege because it seems like it’s as it’s always been. Also George IV built it up and added machicolations because it wasn’t “fantastic” enough for him.

      The only reason she has not been back to Buckingham is because that Palace is undergoing a giant renovation and until it is complete, I believe in 2023, it is safer for her to remain elsewhere. HM is currently in residence at Sandringham until at least ascension day and is fully expected to return to London for her Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
