Since 2008, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, the divorced Duke and Duchess of York, have resided in separate wings of the majestic Royal Lodge in Windsor.
A lesser-known aspect of the lodge is its chapel. The Royal Chapel of All Saints is located on the grounds and serves as an informal parish church for the royals and staff of Windsor Great Park.
The Royal Chapel
Members of the royal family have been known to attend services at the chapel, including the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh with their daughter Lady Louise Windsor, who attended a Sunday Service there following the announcement of Prince Philip’s death in 2021.
King George VI and the Queen Mother, Prince Andrew’s grandparents, regularly worshipped at the chapel during their time at Royal Lodge as the Duke and Duchess of York.
In modern times, a notable event at the chapel was the private wedding of the Duke’s eldest daughter, Princess Beatrice, to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in 2020. The ceremony took place there due to social restrictions imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Inside Royal Lodge
The Lodge features 30 rooms, including seven bedrooms and a saloon. The grounds of Royal Lodge also include the late Queen’s private cottage, where Princess Eugenie’s son, Ernest, was reportedly photographed recently.
