## Resource

At St George’s Chapel, Windsor, royal history is never just decorative. This week, Clara and Miles step into the chapel’s stranger side: royal weddings, hidden viewing spaces, suspicious burials, unfinished tombs, chivalric disgrace, and the astonishing fact that Henry VIII’s final memorial plans did not exactly go as advertised. From Queen Victoria watching a wedding from the Catherine of Aragon closet to Harry and Meghan’s global moment, from Henry VIII and Jane Seymour beneath the Quire to Charles I’s opened coffin and the ritual degradation of a disgraced Garter knight, this episode asks what St George’s really holds. The answer: vows above, vaults below, scandals in the stalls, and centuries of history still echoing in the music.
