The Wonders of Windsor Castle
Pleasantly situated 21 miles from Charing Cross and south of the idyllic Thames lays the charming Windsor. Set in one of Britain’s most exclusive territories, this old English town of historic significance is located within a quaint town in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead in picturesque Berkshire. Windsor is home to several vibrant attractions such as Cliveden House, Eton’s French Market and Hughenden Manor in addition to Legoland and Savill Garden. Avid shoppers will also find an array of boutiques and branded goods along Peascod Street which is Windsor’s self proclaimed shopping district. Windsor’s most popular residents are undoubtedly the British royal family who have been based in its primary landmark Windsor Castle since time immemorial. Known as the world’s most extensive inhabited royal residence, Windsor Castle was first built by King William the first also known as William the Conqueror. As the official home of the Queen of England, Windsor Castle spreads out over 13 acres and the parklands surrounding the palace consist of St George's Chapel, Frogmore House and Gardens as well as Windsor Great Park on its northern border. Throughout the centuries each monarch has added his/her own personal touch to this royal abode and the evolution of the castle to its present beauty is indebted to this very fact. Originally constructed in wood and later stone, the round tower was a contribution of Henry II. Visitors will have access to the spectacular royal apartments that have housed British Monarchs for the past 900 years as well as several semi-state rooms. Decorated by renowned painters and artisans in the likes of Rubens, Rembrandt, Gainsborough and Canaletto the state apartments also feature furnishings courtesy of the Royal Collection. Queen Mary's Dolls House is another must-see attraction as it is a true marvel of miniature ingenuity. The Drawings Gallery at Windsor Castle periodically exhibits historic fare from the Royal Library most often complemented by royal treasures from the same source. St George's Chapel with its distinct Gothic architecture is another popular venue while evening tours of the castle are also available for a look “behind the scenes” with the aid of a seasoned guide. Located within close range of Windsor Castle, Copthorne Hotel Reading serves as the ideal choice for those who are looking for a stylish and luxurious hotel. Reading train station is a mere 15 minutes away from this Reading hotel, while Heathrow Airport is just 45 minutes away.

Queen Elizabeth Windsor Jr. wants a raise. Should the taxpayers of Great Britain give it to her?
a raise for doing what? she has no job!
Being queen is not a job.....it's a privlege. Why should she even get paid at all? She's getting paid for a privlege.
And she already receives how much from the tax payers? I dunno what her salary is but I think it's over 30 million per year.
The millions and millions of dollars she's been getting for free is just not enough to keep up with the rising cost of fancy hand bags. Please, please, help out Queen Elizabeth.
If she wants a raise so bad, let her scrub my toilet for 5 bucs an hour.
Time to get rid of these parasites. They have been draining the coffers of the British people for years. And for what? To open a hospital and wave to people. I could do that for a lot less than 30m. And then they are living rent free in a house that I own. As a tax payer I own their palaces but do I get to see inside them? Of course not as I am deemed not worthy. But I am worthy enough to pay for it!
Some people say that they are good for tourism. The french don't have a royal family and more people visit France than the UK. That's the only good thing the the french ever done. Kill off there royal family.
Time to become a republic get rid of these freeloaders move them into a council estate and let them see what it's really like to live amongst the people that they are supposed to care so much about. Take them out of the Ivory towers and move them into Falwty towers
