Windsor residents to pay as King Charles scraps centuries-old free admission tradition


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. 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." These tours, scheduled from 1 July to 4 August, will offer visitors a unique glimpse into history, showcasing rooms as they were used by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in the 19th century, and how Charles and Camilla utilise them today.
