Most members of the Royal Family are buried not in St George's chapel Windsor, but in a secluded corner of the the Home Park at Windsor called Frogmore. Here are two royal mauseolea, including that of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert and a burial ground. In this video I explore the history of the estate, the construction of the mausolea and why this place was chosen for royal burials and who is buried here.

I miss Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth ll. There was a stability felt in my life, and perhaps the world, while she lived. It’s gone now.

I imagine people felt the same when Queen Victoria died too. Most people had known no other Queen. Yes, I agree with you, everything feels different and less stable in many respects.

And the same can be said of Queen Elizabeth l , she was the only Queen alot her people knew. 45 years on the throne , age 70 when she died I am American and yet Queen Elizabeth ll was the only Queen of Britain I knew. I was born 1957 she been here. It's weird looking at Charles's lll

I remember Princess Alice of Athlone from a lengthy interview she gave for a TV programme in (I think) the 70's. She was in advanced old age, but was as sharp as a pin and fascinating to listen to, being a living link to Queen Victoria, having as a child been on the Buckingham Palace balcony with Victoria at her golden jubilee. I think I fell ever so slightly in love with this intelligent, witty, and utterly charming lady despite the near 70 year difference in our ages, and I'm pleased to see she's laid to rest in such a peaceful place.

Very interesting. I went to Frogmore some years ago, you could go inside the House (several rooms were open including the Duchess of Kent's sitting room etc) and walk round the beautiful garden. Sadly, Victoria and Albert's mausoleum, which used to open on a few days in the year, was shut for restoration work. I've never heard that it has reopened. The Burial ground was interesting though you could only walk round the path outside it and couldn't wander among the gravestones. There is a high hedge along the side where Edward VIII and Wallis are buried so their graves were hard to see and impossible to photograph close up.

Incidentally I think the photo at 21.47 of the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester's graves is one I took myself, which I uploaded to my Flickr site. I thought it looked familiar! At the time I visited (2008) Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester had only been dead a few years so her grave was still marked by a wooden cross - Sir Angus Ogilvy's grave in the distance was the same. I assume they have now both been replaced by a ledger stone like the rest of the graves.

Thoroughly enjoyed this video Allan, really interesting. Princess Helena is my favourite of Queen Victoria’s daughters and I would love to visit her grave site. I was always under the impression that her husband predeceased her in 1917 but you mentioned that he died in 1931.

It is surprising that Viktoria Duchess of Kent lies by herself in an enormous mausoleum, while her husband prince Edward is in the George III. vault...and his cenotaph is in Victoria & Albert's mausoleum.

It is deeply strange - I'm sure it was Albert's suggestion to stop her insisting on being shipped back to Coburg.

Queen Victoria’s father died when she was an infant; she never knew him, and might have considered him as belonging to his own family. Given that the Kensington System was designed, in part, to separate Victoria from associations with her uncles, there probably wasn’t much motivation to relocate him. Victoria and her mother did eventually reconcile. If Victoria was going to honor her mother within her own mausoleum, then it would also be proper to include a monument to her father, since that’s how she came to be Queen and not just a minor princess.

Thank you so much for taking me around Frogmore( not sure how to spell it as am living with dyslexia) and it’s history - like a time capsule of families there l was hooked by the interesting art of buildings there.

Fantastic video packed full of information. I had never seen images of the interior of the Duchess of Kent's mausoleum before so fascinating to see some here. I suspect its already been noted but there is a mistake in the date of death of Prince Christian, husband of Princess Helena. The Prince died in 1917 not 1931.

With appreciation and felicitations from Tennessee, USA. Your presentations are in a class by themselves! I see in others’ comments that there is some info on the details of Queen Victoria’s instructions for the mementos mori included in her coffin, but your classy approach would make a completely engrossing video, and great accompaniment for this one on the Frogmore burial ground! Won’t you please consider taking up the task? Also, what might Albert have with him in his own casket? Again, love your content!!!🙏🌺🇺🇸

Given the sad situation of the brother of the heir apparent, I wonder where he will be buried. I doubt his current wife will be a wife at the time of his passing...

Well, all things being equal, he’s got a long life ahead of him, and the choices he makes along the way will likely dictate where he ends up being buried, but I’m sure there will be a place for him at Frogmore, whether or not he’ll ever use it.

Thank you Dr. Barton for another fascinating presentation on British royal burial sites. I am still curious as to why Victoria and Albert are the only ones buried at the Frogmore Mausoleum as it appears Albert at least envisioned it as a burial place for their descendants as well. Was it Victoria or Edward VII that decided on no further burials there and what was their reasoning? Did it have anything to do with the building being unstable? I know the Mausoleum has been closed to the public for several years to undergo extensive repairs. I also wonder why the mausoleum built for the Duchess of Kent wasn't designed to accommodate her husband the Duke as well. I can't imagine Queen Victoria allowing Albert to buried at a separate location from her so why did she allow her parents to be buried apart? It's also strange that the Duke of Kent's monument but not his remains was removed from St. George's Chapel to the Frogmore Mausoleum. I wonder if that wasn't more to accommodate the installation of a later monument at St. George's rather than to honor the Duke?
