The Royal Family captured by British Pathe at Windsor.British Pathé / YouTube still.

This footage of the Royals at Windsor really is special.

Windsor Castle is the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world. Known as the spot in which the late Queen Elizabeth usually spent her weekends, the castle is as popular with tourists as it is with the Royal Family themselves.

The Queen would take up official residence in Windsor for a month over the Easter period and hosted many events for politicians and guests alike in the castle.

In this clip from 1965, courtesy of British Pathé, we can see the Royal Family enjoying a beautiful day at Windsor Castle. Prince Edward is doted over by Queen Elizabeth and Princess Anne, while Prince Charles (now King) and his father, Prince Philip look on stately.
