The Frogmore Estate and house has 33 acres of private gardens within the grounds of the Home Park, adjoining Windsor Castle, in the county of Berkshire. over the years the house has been a Royal retreat. It is also the site of the Royal Mausoleum containing the tombs of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert; the Duchess of Kent's Mausoleum, burial place of the Queen Victoria's mother, Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, Duchess of Kent; and the Royal Burial Ground.Since 1928, most members of the royal family, except for Kings and Queens, have been interred in the Royal Burial Ground or cemetery behind Queen Victoria's mausoleum. Frogmore House was built in the 1680s and purchased by King George III as a country retreat for Queen Charlotte in 1792. In 1900 Earl Mountbatten of Burma was born there. within the grounds are various garden buildings and monuments, including the 'Gothic Ruin' builtt in 1793 and 'Queen Victoria's Tea House' also the 'Indian Kiosk' commemorating the end of the Indian Mutiny in 1858
