For the first time in 40 years
The East Terrace Garden at Windsor Castle will be open to the public this weekend for the first time in 40 years.
The garden has a rich history. It was first created by George IV back in the 1820s and Prince Albert also took a huge interest in the garden's planting scheme before his death in 1861. In the early 20th century, King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra would host large garden parties there every summer. In 1971, the Duke of Edinburgh redesigned the flowerbeds and commissioned a bronze fountain based on his own design for the centre of the garden.
The royal family’s Instagram account shared the news of the garden's reopening, as well as sharing a sweet photograph of the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh taken in the grounds in 1997, by Patrick Lichfield.
