St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle: A Royal Resting Place Guide ⚰️👑

🕯️ The 8 Accessible Monarchs' Tombs (in visitor order) 1️⃣ North Nave Aisle George V (1910-1936) Grandfather of Elizabeth II, renamed the royal house "Windsor" during WWI anti-German sentiment. (Easily missed—overshadowed by Princess Charlotte’s tomb!) 2️⃣ King George VI Memorial Chapel ( No entry) George VI (1936-1952) & Elizabeth II (1952-2022) Shared with the Queen Mother, Prince Philip, and Princess Margaret. Guarded—no photos allowed, but you can pay respects. 3️⃣ North Quire Aisle Edward IV (1461-1483) Yorkist king who nearly ended the Wars of the Roses. Watch for his tomb behind the Quire entrance—easy to bypass! 4️⃣ Quire Center Henry VIII (1509-1547) & Charles I (1625-1649) The infamous Tudor and the beheaded Stuart share a vault (Henry’s unfinished tomb lies beneath). Imagine their ghostly debates on "how to rule absolutely"… 👻 5️⃣ South Quire Aisle Henry VI (1422-1461, 1470-1471) Weak ruler who lost the Hundred Years’ War, later murdered by Edward IV. Edward VII (1901-1910) Elizabeth II’s great-grandfather; his "eternal Prince of Wales" stint mirrored Charles III’s. 🚫 Inaccessible Tombs George III, IV & William IV rest in the Royal Vault (closed to public). 📍 Visitor Tips 📌 Location: Windsor Castle, SL4 1NJ 🎟️ Entry: Included in castle tickets 🚆 Train: Windsor & Eton Central (30 mins from London) 📸 Photo Rule: No photography near George VI Chapel #WindsorCastle #RoyalTombs #BritishHistory #StGeorgesChapel
