Our late Queen Elizabeth II loved Windsor – the grand, crenellated castle with distinct round tower, perched high above the River Thames in Berkshire, which has been an official residence of kings and queens since William the Conqueror had it built as a fortress to protect London from attack from western approaches around 1070.
It was here, on the edge of the leafy town of Windsor, that Her Majesty chose to spend lockdown during the Covid-19 pandemic, creating a ‘HMS bubble’ with 22 members of her household.
In an update to her book The Other Side of, the Queen’s personal stylist and dresser, Angela Kelly, spilled the beans on some of the antics Her Majesty got up to during lockdown, including hiding behind a tree in Windsor Home Park as members of her staff participated in ‘Bubble Olympics’.
