The house and attractive gardens at Frogmore House, once used to be Queen Victoria's favorite retreats. Frogmore House is situated in the serene surroundings of the private Home Park of Windsor Castle. This fascinating place has been a home to various monarchs since the seventeenth century. In the gardens, stands the Mausoleum where Queen Victoria and her husband Prince Albert are buried.
The interior of Frogmore House reflects the artistic taste and talent of the royal family down the ages. The Cross Gallery has decorative panels painted by Princess Elizabeth, daughter of George III and Queen Charlotte. At the Frogmore House, The Victoria Closet is where works of art, made by three generations of the royal family are displayed.
The gardens are the works of Queen Charlotte who had a great interest in plants and gardening. She used rare plants to lay out her garden.
This year, thirty-three dolls from all over the world, given to The Queen from her earliest childhood to Golden Jubilee year, are on display at Frogmore House. Some of these dolls are gifts from other royal families and some are as many as 75 years old.
