The Queen and the Ghost of Windsor Castle.
Did you know that Queen Elizabeth II spotted the spirit of Elizabeth I when spending time in Windsor castle with her younger sister Princess Margaret? She wasn’t afraid. There was no doubt in her mind that the castle was haunted.
It is believed that Elizabeth and Margaret precise year, who died in 2002, saw the ghost of the 16th-century king in the “library room.”
The late Princess Margaret, the Queen’s only sibling, and the Queen allegedly witnessed Elizabeth’s ghost in the Windsor Castle library room, according to the travel website Visit Britain.
Elizabeth I is also said to haunt Westminster Abbey, where she is buried next to her sister Mary, and ghost hunters believe she is a restless spirit due to her horrific life.
When the previous monarch’s father, King Henry VIII, ordered to have her mother and his second wife, Anne Boleyn, beheaded, she was only two years old.
She spent time in the Tower of London after being accused of aiding Protestant insurrectionists during Mary’s reign. As a result, she had to order her cousin Mary, Queen of Scots, to be beheaded.
Elizabeth I never got married, never had kids, and passed away in 1603 at 69 from “acute depression” brought on by the passing of her close friends.
Experts estimate that there may be as many as 25 ghosts roaming Windsor Castle, and there have been claims that Queen Elizabeth saw the ghost of her predecessor.
Henry VIII, George II, and George III are rumored to haunt the castle and Elizabeth I’s father.
She will one day be buried alongside history’s greatest rulers. But sadly, she has passed away.
