Look to the Round Tower flag — when the Royal Standard is flying, King Charles III and Queen Camilla are in residence.

Explore the charming streets of Windsor immediately after departing the Castle. Discover independent shops, including the smallest shop in the UK, view the Long Walk entrance and see Frogmore, former residence of Prince Harry and Meghan.
