Windsor

The town of Windsor has been around since Anglo-Saxon times.

The Royal Household

The town of Windsor has been used as a royal residence since the reign of King Henry I. The castle was rebuilt from 1350 until 1500, forming the basis for the castle we see today. The castle was used as the main residence for Queen Victoria and her husband Prince Albert, during her reign. The town also gave the new surname to the present royal family as it was felt that the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha was inappropriate during the First World War. The castle is still used by the Royal Family today.
