Windsor Castle, which is about 35 kilometers from the British capital, away from busy London, was for a long time mainly used by the Queen as a weekend residence. However, the thousand-year-old fort in the county of Berkshire, which William the Conqueror began to build in the 11th century, would be the permanent residence of the Queen in the future.
In form of “Sunday Times” Reported on Sunday, the 95-year-old will say goodbye to Buckingham Palace, the headquarters of the royal presence on the island, and will only use it for short visits.
The palace has long been considered dilapidated
The Queen has not fully utilized her London residence for a long time. For nearly 15 years she has lived in Windsor more than London, only coming to the capital a few days a week to visit and receive guests. Since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, she has lived almost exclusively in Windsor, spending Christmas there as well. Royal Family Traditionally actually spend at Sandringham in eastern England.
His sons Prince Edward and Prince Andrew live in the immediate vicinity. Princess Eugenie also lives on campus with her husband Jack Brooksbank and baby August. Her husband, Prince Philip, died at Windsor Castle in April last year and was buried at St George’s Chapel on the castle grounds.
Another reason for the permanent move could be renovation work on Buckingham Palace, which will run until 2027.
