Windsor castle, of all Britain's royal palaces, none is older, larger or more loved. This magnificent thousand-year-old fortress1 is no museum -- it's a vast, living castle.

Home to the Queen since childhood Windsor is also the place from which the royal family take their name. The Queen's children and grandchildren have come to love this kingdom within the kingdom. For the first time, unprecedented2 access has been granted to the inner life of the castle. This is a historical portrait of an entire year inside the royal domain3.

When the queen and her government entertain world leaders on grand state occasions, they come to Windsor.
"Typically, we sign a name. Take in quick and get back here."
This is where the royal family celebrate their most important occasions. We'll meet the 300 people who live and work here. (This is just, this is just pure gold) and discover what it is like to serve the monarch4 in her grandest home. "... this goes on and on and on, your knees hurt, your feet hurt, it's all part of the job like"
"Meself I think I am the second most important person in the castle, besides the Queen"
"Gee, I don't have any children, I love my boy staff, it's just, just like a baby for me"
"We love the Queen; We love the Queen"

At Windsor, Crown and community live and work side by side.
-- We've lived here as in a home very much more so than, than, every body since perhaps Queen Victoria. I think that's what gives it its attraction and its strength is a coherent community which starts from the fact the Queen lives here. It would still go if she wasn't, but it would be a completely different atmosphere.

Above all the pomp, the history and the grandeur5, everyone at Windsor knows that this is the place the sovereign calls home.
