King’s Archives Closely Guarded in Windsor Castle
London. The royal archives at Windsor Castle are the most secret and jealously guarded collections in England. Kept in a strong room inside the round tower, access is limited to the royal family and the recorder, with the state owning none of it. The papers cover centuries, focusing on the Stuarts, the pretender, George III, George IV, Victorian Melbourne era, and documents from sovereigns, presidents, ministers, and ambassadors worldwide. The archive may not become public until the royal family is extinct.
