Windsor Castle has long been said to be the UK's most haunted royal residence as there have been reported sightings of everyone from King Henry VIII to Queen Elizabeth I
It has often been said that Windsor Castle is the most haunted of all the royal residences, with over 25 reported experiences with ghosts and spirits.
But whether it is hobbling ghosts, saluting soldiers or stolen bones, there are countless ghostly encounters with late royalty that will send a shiver down your spine. Queen Elizabeth II even claimed that she and her sister Princess Margaret witnessed paranormal activity in the castle, believing it to be an apparition of her namesake Elizabeth I.
The story goes that the guards were passing the King’s window on their duties when the commanding officer saw the distinctive figure of the King standing in his usual place, watching the parade. It is unsurprising that there have been so many sightings of historical monarchs, as several of them are buried within the grounds of the castle. Just below St George’s Chapel, where royal brides such as Princess Eugenie and Meghan Markle previously walked, lies the coffins of Henry VIII, George V and Charles I, among many others.
