King Charles has decided to scrap a 200 year old tradition at Windsor Castle meaning his neighbours will no longer be able to visit the historic site for free
King Charles has decided to shake things up at Windsor Castle , ending a nearly 200 year old perk for locals by axing the free entry to the historic site. Since 1825, residents in the Windsor area have enjoyed complimentary visits to the Royal residence, but from June 1, 2024, this privilege will be replaced with a discounted entry fee of £16.
But not everyone's thrilled about the change; with several Windsor residents and some political figures voicing their discontent. Liberal Democrat parliamentary candidate Julian Tisi expressed the sentiment of many when he said: "During the season, residents gladly welcome tourists to their shops and restaurants, they drive them around in taxis and are happy to give directions in the street.
The grand 1000 year old fortress, nestled in Berkshire, is among the numerous regal homes maintained by the Royal family. Even though it's a functional palace, the estate opens its majestic doors to the public all year round. Nevertheless, a spokesperson from the Royal Collection Trust has sought to ease residents' fears. They assured that they "regularly" review their pricing strategy and are committed to ensuring no under-represented groups are barred from visiting this iconic landmark.
