In latter years, the Queen has increasingly used the castle as a royal palace as well as her weekend home. It is as often used for state banquets and official entertaining as Buckingham Palace. When during the great fire in 1992 Prince Andrew was interviewed for television, he stated that Windsor Castle was the one place the royal family regarded as home.

In a June 1999 story, the BBC reported that Prince Charles was considering moving the royal court to Windsor Castle instead of Buckingham Palace when he ascends the throne. The story speculated that the Prince may be attempting to gain more independence from the traditional court at Buckingham Palace. So far, the Palace has not commented on the story, but Prince Charles, along with the rest of the royal family, is said to be fond of Windsor Castle.

na visita a windsor, muito frio num castelo aberto e auto-intitulado como o maior castelo do mundo. a exposição em homenagem ao prince charles chega a ser comovente (quem é que os ingleses querem enganar?!).

a vila é pacata e merece uma visita, para percebermos o que é estar na 'aldeia' às portas da grande capital. um sítio cheio de estilo e repleto de pubs e restaurantezinhos charmosos.
