Program Description

For the better part of a millennium, Windsor Castle has been at the heart of British history - the awesome fortress, family home, treasure chest and burial ground for the Royal dynasty who went on to take its name. But, there is another side to the Castle, which the tourists never see. It is the real Windsor - home, workplace, playground and paradise. For the first time ever, cameras are chronicling a year in the life of the world's largest inhabited castle. Produced by RDF Media and History Television International in association with Oregon Public Broadcasting, WINDSOR CASTLE: A ROYAL YEAR provides an historic portrait of this grand landmark, where crown and community live and work side by side. Funding for WINDSOR CASTLE: A ROYAL YEAR was provided by PBS viewers and PBS. Home Video: Windsor Castle: A Royal Year is available on DVD with additional footage for $29.95 plus shipping & handling. To place an order, please call 1.800.440.2651.
