Windsor Castle in the United Kingdom is the main residence of Queen Elizabeth II, who moved from Buckingham Palace in March 2020 to escape the epidemic, along with her husband, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, who died of illness at the age of 99 in April, after which the Queen did not choose to move back to Buckingham Palace.
Like other famous royal residences, parts of Windsor Castle are open to the public as tourist attractions at certain times, but the focus of the tour website's publicity for the castle is different from other attractions, as the castle's publicity focus is on "haunting".
The castle is full of all kinds of strange talk about "ghosts" and "undead", according to statistics, there are as many as 25 "ghosts" of royal members in the castle, and the most famous of them is the story of Queen Elizabeth II claiming that she has seen the "ghost" of Queen Elizabeth I in the castle.
Both the Queen and her sister Princess Margaret claimed to have seen Elizabeth I in the library of Windsor Castle, saying that before seeing the terrible "ghost", they would hear the queen's high heels, "clucking, clucking", which was frightening.
In addition to the two royals, a guard inside the castle told a similar story in an interview with royal biographer Richard Jones, saying he saw the "ghost" of the queen in the outer hall of the castle library.
In addition, the "ghosts" rumored to live in Windsor Castle include King George II, who is rumored to have been seen in a room below the library, King George III, who was found gazing inward at the bedroom window where he lived while he was alive, King George VIII, who was found wandering in the cloisters of the castle, and so on.
Is there really a "ghost" in Windsor Castle? We can't say for sure, but the reason why there are so many "ghosts of former monarchs" in the castle is probably because many members of the royal family and former monarchs are buried there, and there are indeed many phenomena in the world that cannot be explained by science.
However, it is certain that the "ghosts" in the castle do not pose any threat to people, otherwise the 95-year-old queen would not have been able to use it as a place to settle, after all, the old man of this age could not withstand any fright.
Interestingly, there is also a more romantic claim on social media platforms about the "ghost legend" of Windsor Castle and the queen's choice to settle there now: some netizens pointed out that the queen should have returned to Buckingham Palace after lifting social restrictions this year, but before that, Prince Philip spent his last night in Windsor Castle, and if the "undead" of the deceased members can really be seen in the castle, the queen may hope to be reunited with her husband again.
Although this may sound very brainy, the reason why the Queen decided not to return to Buckingham Palace may really have something to do with Prince Philip, in addition to the countless good memories between the two in the castle, the old man is said to have planted a rose named after Prince Philip in the garden inside Windsor Castle, which the Queen visits regularly, and perhaps guarding this rose grows up for the Queen is like still with her husband.
