Frogmore - The Royal Burial Ground and Mausolea

Published 2023-09-20
#royalfamily #royaltombs #frogmore

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 love the phrase “the preponderance of frogs”. Almost Shakespearean, rather like “convocation of politic worms”.

    This has got to be one of the most wholesome comments sections on You Tube....Nothing but love and respect for the creator.....I love it 😊

    I agree, I miss Queen Elizabeth II. She was a constant in my life time and I’ve always admired her dedication to her position and loyalty to her vow. I’m American but love learning more and more of UK 🇬🇧

    As a child I saw the plane crash that killed Prince William of Gloucester. My Father had taken us to see an air show at Halfpenny Green near Wolverhampton. Thank you so much for this video. I find Royal Burials immensely absorbing.

    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.
  • I read in one of the many books I’ve read on the Royal family through the ages that King Charles wanted to name his son William after William, the second son of the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester who, as you said, died young in a plane crash. If this is true, he apparently made a strong impression on Charles who wanted to honor him. He was certainly a very handsome and gifted young man.

    Thanks for the imagery of inside the Duchess of Kent's mausoleum, a place never opened to the public.

    That’s an extraordinary photograph of Prince Albert, I’d never seen it before and had to rewind to check we were talking about the right person. Amazing.

    Absolutely no-one does these types of videos quite like you Allan. First class again. Thank you.

    Always curious about Frogmore and after watching this, I understand so much more. Thank you so very much! (Love that pic of the Queen and King Charles! With those beautiful flowers… my fave pic of them together now!)

    I did not know the history of Frogmore, only about Queen Victoria and Prince Albert's tomb. Thanks so much💕
  • @popcult
    Excellent round-off study of Frogmore. I learned a lot again. Thank you 🙏

    I Love ‘rabbit holes’ of history, Allan. This was so interesting.
  • @daveowens271
    Thank you for this. I would absolutely love to visit Frogmore.

    I believe the Duke of Windsor chose his & his wife's gravesite; I know I've read this somewhere. He had purchased a site in Maryland but when he was in London for an eye operation he asked the Queen for permission to be buried at Frogmore, and it was granted.

    Wonderful. I count myself very lucky to have got to go round the mausoleum before it was closed. I was astonished (and pleased) to see a memorial to John Brown attached to one of the inner walls, within sight of Victoria’s tomb.
  • @wahcwilson
    Food for thought 👑 I Love Frogmore Cottage & the whole Frogmore Estates💛💛💛💛💛
  • @hlondon2408
    What a wonderful video. The history of the burials is interesting. The traditions of the monarchy, as well as the other members of the Royal families, live on into and after their deaths. Thank you for producing and sharing this with the world.
