Royal Lodge is a Grade II listed house in Windsor Great Park in Berkshire, England, half a mile north of Cumberland Lodge and 3.2 miles (5.1 km) south of Windsor Castle.[1] The site of homes since the 17th century, the present structure dates from the 19th century, and was expanded in the 1930s for the then Duke of York, the future King George VI. Its central section consists of three storeys, with two-storey wings, totalling about 30 rooms, including seven bedrooms. The Royal Chapel of All Saints was built on the grounds in the 1820s.
Part of the Crown Estate, it was the Windsor residence of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother from 1952 until her death in 2002 at the age of 101, after which it became the official country residence of Prince Andrew, Duke of York and his family in 2004.
