Who is buried in the grounds of Frogmore Cottage?

Frogmore is also the site of three burial places of the British Royal Family: the Royal Mausoleum containing the tombs of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, the Duchess of Kent's Mausoleum where Queen Victoria's mother Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, Duchess of Kent is interred and the Royal Burial Ground.



While Frogmore Cottage is a private residence, it is located within the larger Frogmore Estate, which houses the Royal Burial Ground and the Royal Mausoleum. The most famous residents are Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, who are interred in the grand Royal Mausoleum. Behind it lies the Royal Burial Ground, where many members of the British Royal Family are laid to rest. Notable individuals buried there include the Duke of Windsor (formerly King Edward VIII) and his wife, Wallis Simpson. Others interred in the grounds include Prince Henry (Duke of Gloucester), Prince George (Duke of Kent), and several of Queen Victoria's children and grandchildren. The area is considered a more private alternative to the traditional royal burial sites at Westminster Abbey or St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle, serving as a tranquil resting place for those who preferred a quieter final home within the private royal park.
