Overview
Windsor Castle is Britain’s most important landmark and the home of this magnificent romantic chivalry is the great inspiration of Netflix’s The Crown series. We can understand some fictitious an overly dramatized context of the world-famous TV series and presumably one of the best ways to understand the true stories and events related to monarchs starting from King George VI’s rule and onwards. In this TV show, the eldest living Royal family member was Queen Mary, and you can see plenty of traces of the Queen in Windsor such as immaculate Queen Mary’s Dolls House. Like other Crown Tours of Tourope UK, our professional guides will tell you the genealogy of the Royal family with their royal roots including the last member of the monarch our Queen Elizabeth II (Lilibet) to make you understand the roles of all Royal members. On this “The Crown” tour we will immortalize the Royal members by touching their lives and depicting their true stories behind the scenes. Let us take you there!

The world's oldest inhabited castle is not only the nation's iconic treasure but also the Crown's most important royal residence. Our tour is going to start with Windsor Castle which we will reach by train and our journey will start from London Waterloo (Or private transportation will be at your choice). Windsor Castle has been emphasised in the Crown's Season 2, Episode 1 when the Queen takes care of Charles and Alice; Season 2, Episode 9 when Charles stares at Eton College through the windows of Windsor Castle (Lord Mountbatten was preparing Charles for Eton College) but he came to naught because of Prince Philip's ideology. Father King George VI's touching funeral in Windsor Castle’s St George's Chapel in Season 1, Episode 3 (The name of the Episode is "Windsor" per see and the title of uncle Edward VIII is "Duke of Windsor" too, smartly addressed).

Welcome to London's heart. You will remember this iconic square from Season 2, Episode 1 that shows the tension between Britain and Egypt in the 1956 Suez Crisis. The political protests were in Trafalgar Square against Prime Minister Anthony Eden due to his highly controversial response to the Suez crisis. Square also holds a series of events in the past. You can also listen to the stories of kings such as Charles I, Charles IV, and Admiral Horatio Nelson, General Sir Charles James Napier and Major General Sir Henry Havelock who shaped the history of this nation. Trafalgar Square is a very touristic public square with some of London's most popular attractions, from galleries and historic buildings to monuments and statues, you can immerse yourself into the deep-seated British history.

London's lovely landmark Admiralty Arch is one of the masterpieces in the city very close to Trafalgar Square. This lovely arch was the commemoration of King Edward VII to his beloved mother Queen Victoria, the great grandmother of Elizabeth. You will be familiar with London's iconic masterpiece in different episodes of the Crown that you will never miss. Admiralty Arch used to be a government listed building and Waldorf Astoria Group leased the building for 125 years for their tourists. From 2022, we will be able to provide your accommodation right in the heart of the city. Admiralty Arch is simply the jewel of "The Crown" in London dated back to 1912.
