King Charles III seems concerned as Royal Collection Trust’s surprising decision about Windsor Castle has angered locals.
Locals, who were excited to visit the Castle, turned angry for being forced to pay to visit the world’s oldest and largest inhabited castle in break from tradition.Royal Collection Trust has announced plans to axe free admission to local residents for the first time in 200 years. From June 1, residents of Windsor and Maidenhead will no longer be able to visit the royal castle for free.
They will instead have to pay 50 percent of the entrance fee. The move has sparked backlash as many slammed the decision.
Locals who had a Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead Advantage Card could visit the castle for free, however, the Trust’s latest decision will see them having to pay for a ticket, which will cost them £15 in advance or £16.50 on the day, with free entry for one child up to the age of 17.
