Royal Burial Ground
Royal Burial Ground
Since 1928, most members of the Royal Family, except for sovereigns and their consorts, have been interred here. Among those interred here are three of Queen VIctoria's children (Princess Helena, 1846–1923; Prince Arthur, 1850–1942; Princess Louise, 1848–1939) as well as one former monarch (Edward VIII, 1894–1972, later the Duke of Windsor) and his wife Wallis Simpson. In the adjacent Frogmore gardens is the mausoleum of Queen Victoria's mother.
Frogmore House, its gardens, and the Royal Mausoleum are usually open to the public upon about six individual days each year, usually around Easter and the August Bank Holiday. The mausoleum is also open on the Wednesday nearest Queen Victoria's birthday, 24 May. The Royal Mausoleum is closed until further notice. The Royal Burial Ground may be viewed from around its perimeter upon those days which the gardens are open to the public. The Duchess of Kent's mausoleum may also be viewed externally, but is never open to the public.
