YES, I KNOW I REFER TO PRINCE ALBERT AS QUEEN VICTORIA'S WIFE - I RECORDED THE VIDEO LATE AT NIGHT AND UNSCRIPTED!!!!
Last year Prince Philip was buried in the Royal burial vault in Windsor castle and recently Queen Elizabeth II was laid to rest temporarily in it too. In this video, I look at the history of the vault, how it came to be built, what it looks like, how it is used and some of the members of the royal family that are buried within it.

Thank you. I’ve wondered about this for a long time because of a story told to me by my late Mum and Dad. They were married in March 1954 and went to London on Honeymoon. One day they visited Windsor and in those days it was very quiet and not the tourist attraction it is now. When they were in St George’s Chapel there were no other visitors there and my Dad asked a gentleman (probably a Verger) where the King was buried and was told that he wasn’t, he was in the Vault and would stay there until the Queen Mother died. He then took my Dad down into the Vault (Mum stayed in the Chapel all on her own) and he was shown the Kings coffin. Dad always laughingly described it as “being left in a dusty old corridor” but it wasn’t until the death of Prince Philip last year that Mum and I realised where he had actually been taken and that this was a huge privilege as Dad had been allowed somewhere where the general public are not allowed to go. I always imagined it as just a plain old “corridor” as Dad had described it so it has been really interesting to find out more about the Royal Vault and it’s history.

I worked at Windsor Castle for about 10 years, and an old employeed told me that there was a tradition that, when the coffin of Henry VIII was opened, some liquid was in the bottom of the casket, which was quoted as being "odourless, colourless and flavourless"! Visitors to St George's Chapel should look out for the memorial to Princess Charlotte, which is very moving.

I couldn't imagine being buried in a vault. A person's resting place, no matter who they were in life, should be the ultimate momento mori. In a couple thousand years, no amount of embalming fluid, pressure and temperature monitored vaults or formaldehyde can reverse the fact that these vaults will be nothing more than a relic of a forgotten time, same with the Romans and Egyptians with their "marvelous" burial conditions.

Windsor has long been a favoured residence of the royal family, it was George III's residence of choice towards the end of his life hence the construction of his vault. Prior to him only one king had chosen to be buried here, Edward IV, who began the construction of the present St George's chapel. For the Queen it was really the place she felt most at home.

There is a spiral staircase near the altar that takes you down to the vault, Queen Victoria was a frequent visitor - I'm not sure of the present family go down.
