VISITING FROGMORE HOUSE

11/26/2015

Frogmore House in Windsor Great Park, about a mile from Windsor Castle, was built in the 17th century and updated many times. It has provided a private retreat for the royals since the late 18th c. days of Queen Charlotte and George III. Queen Victoria's mother, the Duchess of Kent (1786-1861), lived here as her country residence until her death.
