Who is buried in the grounds of Frogmore House?

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.



The grounds of Frogmore House, located within the Home Park of Windsor Castle, contain the Royal Burial Ground and two significant mausoleums. The most prominent residents are Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, who are interred in the grand Royal Mausoleum. Near them, the Duchess of Kent (Queen Victoria's mother) is buried in her own mausoleum. The Royal Burial Ground, consecrated in 1928, serves as the final resting place for many other members of the British Royal Family. Notable figures interred there include the Duke of Windsor (formerly King Edward VIII) and his wife, Wallis Simpson, the Duchess of Windsor. Other royals buried on the site include Prince George, Duke of Kent, and several younger members of the family who passed away in the 20th century. While the public can occasionally visit the gardens, the mausoleums themselves are rarely open due to structural sensitivities. In 2026, the site remains a deeply private and historic sanctuary for the monarchy, reflecting over a century of royal history away from the more public interments at St. George's Chapel.
