The Dark Story of Britain's LARGEST Castle: Windsor

The Dark Story of Britain's LARGEST Castle: Windsor Windsor Castle — the largest occupied castle in the world. Over 1,000 rooms. 300 fireplaces. 39 monarchs. Nearly 1,000 years of power, reinvention, and secrets buried beneath stone. But behind the golden State Apartments and the Garter banners lies a darker story. A story of conquered land and nameless workers. Of a king beheaded and carried back through a snowstorm to be buried without ceremony. Of a monarch who spent a million pounds transforming the castle — and died eighteen months after moving in. Of a queen who turned it into a mausoleum for the only man she ever loved. And of a fire that burned for fifteen hours and forced the most powerful family in Britain to open their doors just to pay the bill. This is the dark story of Windsor Castle. 📩 If you enjoyed this, like, subscribe, and tell me in the comments which British castle or estate I should investigate next. #WindsorCastle #BritishHistory #DarkHistory #Documentary #RoyalFamily #Castles #UKHistory #GildedAge #Architecture #RoyalPalaces — SOURCES: Royal Collection Trust — "Who Built Windsor Castle?"
