“A small consecrated lawn behind the Royal Mausoleum at Frogmore, inside the Home Park at Windsor. The British Royal Family has buried members here since King George V set the ground apart in 1928. The gardens at Frogmore open only a handful of days each year, and the burial ground itself stays private. From the path you can see the cedars and the low headstones, kept the way the family wants them kept.

— about Royal Burial Ground

The place, in three passes.

A little of what's known, in case you fall down the rabbit hole — or want to go see it yourself.
— the place

The Royal Burial Ground sits in the gardens of Frogmore, on the private Home Park of Windsor Castle in Berkshire, about twenty-five miles west of central London. King George V consecrated the ground on 23 October 1928 to relieve pressure on the Royal Mausoleum, where Queen Victoria and Prince Albert lie. The cemetery is managed by the Crown Estate and the Royal Household. Most members of the wider Royal Family since 1928 are interred here, including Princess Margaret in 2002 and the Duke of Windsor, formerly King Edward VIII.

— the silence

Frogmore stays closed to the public almost the whole year. The house and gardens open for charity on a small number of days, usually in May and August, and the burial ground itself remains shut even on those days. The Royal Mausoleum, where Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were interred together in 1871, has been closed for restoration since 2007 with limited reopenings. The silence is structural. The Home Park is enclosed, the Long Walk runs the other way, and the field is reached only by the Royal Household.

— the visit

The Royal Burial Ground is not open to general visitors and never has been. Frogmore Gardens open to the public for a small number of charity days each year, advertised by the Royal Collection Trust, with timed tickets and limited numbers. The Long Walk through Windsor Great Park, by contrast, is open every day from dawn to dusk and runs three miles south from the Castle to the Copper Horse statue of King George III. From the Walk the burial ground is not visible.

— common questions

What people ask.

A few questions we get about Royal Burial Ground — and about bringing the piece home.
— about the place

Most members of the wider British Royal Family since 1928 rest here, including Princess Margaret, Princess Alice of Battenberg, and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. Sovereigns themselves are usually interred at St George's Chapel.

King George V consecrated the ground on 23 October 1928, to ease pressure on the Royal Mausoleum where Queen Victoria and Prince Albert had been buried together in 1871. It has been the family's main burial place since.

Frogmore lies in the Home Park of Windsor Castle, in Berkshire, about twenty-five miles west of central London. The estate includes Frogmore House, the Royal Mausoleum, and the gardens around them, all on Crown Estate land.

The burial ground itself remains private. Frogmore Gardens open for a small number of charity days each year, usually arranged by the Royal Collection Trust, and the burial ground stays closed even then.

Queen Elizabeth II was buried in the King George VI Memorial Chapel at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, on 19 September 2022, beside her parents, her sister, and her husband. Sovereigns are not buried at Frogmore.

Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, was first interred at the Royal Vault at St George's Chapel after his funeral on 17 April 2021. He was reinterred beside Queen Elizabeth II at the King George VI Memorial Chapel in 2022.

— about the piece in your home

It has been a quiet, considered gift for customers who follow the royal family across generations. A Medium or Large with a handwritten note from the studio carries the weight of the subject without overstating it.

The hushed palette (yew green, slate, and a hint of stained-glass blue) sits well in English Country, Library Traditional, and Dark Academia rooms. It also reads naturally in a quiet hallway lined with books.

It speaks to the Dark Academia and Grandmillennial revivals, where a piece carrying history and a hand-painted quality grounds a room. It is also at home in Cottage Traditional and Library English settings.

Above a sofa, a single Large reads at the right scale; above a console table or under a portrait, a Medium is the usual choice. A 4-tile Mural suits a stair landing or the wall above a library mantel.

Yes, in Dura Satin or Matte finish. Both are scratch-resistant and rated for vertical wet-zone installation. The Glossy finish is held for dry rooms, framed wall pieces, and study walls.

A soft microfibre cloth, dry or just damp with water. The colour is slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure and rests below a thin finish, so ordinary cleaning will not lift it.

Yes. Every WenderVista piece is painted in-house by Reid Wender, the curator of the atlas. The studio licenses no imagery in or out; each tile is finished by hand in our Knoxville workshop.
