Royal Burial Ground, Frogmore


The Royal Burial Ground is a cemetery used by the British Royal Family. Consecrated on 23 October 1928, it surrounds the Royal Mausoleum, which was built in 1862 to house the tomb of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. The burial ground lies on the Frogmore Estate, part of Windsor Home Park, in the English county of Berkshire. Many members of the Royal Family, generally except for sovereigns and their consorts, have been interred on the Royal Burial Ground, among them Queen Victoria's children and one sovereign: Edward VIII, 1894–1972. In the adjacent Frogmore Gardens stands the mausoleum of Queen Victoria's mother, Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld.

The Royal Burial Ground may be viewed from around its perimeter on the days on which the gardens are open to the public. The Duchess of Kent's Mausoleum may also be viewed externally, but is never open to the public.
The Royal Mausoleum, the resting place of Queen Victoria and her husband/consort Prince Albert, is structurally unsound and has been closed to the public since 2007. Repairs may take up to a decade to complete.
The Royal Mausoleum used to open on the Wednesday nearest Queen Victoria's birthday, 24 May and occasionally on other days when the grounds were open.
The restoration project was begun in June 2018 and will protect the Mausoleum from the historic damp problems.
