The upkeep of these places is phenomenal. Locals will still get in for half price and kids up to 17 still get in free, so what are they moaning about? Spare a thought for those of us who travel long distances to visit these places, have to pay for parking and petrol on top of the full entrance fee. Some people don't know when they've got it made.

I think correctly there is a large flow and a historical building leads to wear and tear, which requires costs

Its the tourists that keep it going not the residents.

Until you live in a town that is packed with tourists everyday, many times being annoying, crowding the place, and asking daft questions, you have no idea. It's wonderful for those who own the shops, for the residents, not so much. But I digress as Windsor folk need to speak for themselves. Also, I'm sure some of the business owners are not even Windsor residents.

The Government administered Crown Estate has to be profitable or everyone would be paying for the upkeep through taxes. Too many people expect too much for no direct cost.

Tell me how many residents close to Windsor Castle haven't been there over at least once in their lifetime since before now? It is a good call on King Charles to make certain that historical and beautiful home (business) continues to stand for many more generations. Especially with his longest reigning mother (and father) buried there, which is probably the biggest draw to the castle these days.

Royal Family own Balmoral Castle in Scotland and Sandingham Estate in Norfolk.

Locals shouldn't even get a discount. I mean how many times would they visit the Castle every year?

Its an historic site. It requires upkeep of the grounds, the castle, security,etc. Most countries charge to visit these places. After watchimg the daily debacle with the tourists and the Kings Life Guard, who can't keep their grubby hands off the horses or the guards, and get mad and argue when told to stop, I can only imagine the mess at Windsor. People feel entitled now, when they are paying admission itvwill get worse. The alternative is to shut everything down to the public. I don't know what the KLG gets paid, but its not nearly enough for the bs I've watched them deal with.

Thank goodness for the sensible and fair comments on this move.

He's passed water on the residents of the villages around Sandringham woods, too, installing earthworks to prevent locals from accessing a favourite spot for picnics and dog walking, so that people have to use the camera controlled car park (cost £5 for less than an hour. Such is royal greed.

GOD BLESS and PROTECT !!!!!!!

Most residents, in any town with historic venues, are the least likely individuals to visit the venues due to proximity and procrastination. The charging of an entrance fee is often used to pay for upkeep, security, repairs, and utilities. To expect the Royal Family to shoulder the entire cost simply because you live in town is ludicrous. Most businesses are making money off the tourists in one form or another. You don't want to welcome the tourists? Move to someplace no one wants to visit. Problem solved.

The RF is not shouldering the costsl Windsor residents make up a very small fraction of the one million people who visit every year which is why they enjoyed free access for so long. Windsor is part of the Crown Estate. It is not maintained personally by the RF. Tourists can be annoying, not everyone owns businesses, and not everyone who has a business there lives there. These people make up a very small fraction of those who visit the castle every year. Most of them are not going there every year to begin with. All your ideas about it are basically off.

Well the up keep of these historic buildings is not cheap so I think it's right.

The local residents are getting a great deal back from 'welcoming all those tourists'. I'm sure the complaints will die down once everyone gets used to it.

Not bad, a little over 15 Bucks (U. S. Dollars) for residents. In 🇺🇸, you pay tourist or resident with no discount for National sites.

The rest of us have masses of tourists coming to our cities, towns and villages too. We don’t get anything for it! At least they are still getting something!

The place appears to be primarily a tourist trap (with all the plastic flags flapping everywhere and the mobile barriers channeling the paying visitors where damage an upkeep can be minimized), how many times would a neighboring resident want to visit the property itself or the more touristy parts of town unless employed to do so or are hoping to exploit them otherwise? If I lived there abouts I'd want to go where the tourists generally don't for peace and quiet. Let the entrepreneurs have at their supposed tourist piggy banks.

Considering how long the castle has been there, and how expensive it is in the area, half price is a really good deal. I can’t afford it with the travel, parking and entrance fees. Would they have the nice shops if the castle wasn’t there.

Your “neighbor’s” property is not your property and you have no rights to it. The change does not stop the privilege that has been extended to neighbours just restricts it from being taken advantage of.

I have to wonder, how often do the locals actually visit Windsor? I imagine it’s like any other local landmark, attraction, where you know it’s there, but never, or rarely, go. So why is this a big deal other than it’s a change? They still get a good discount. Then again, if the locals make up so little a percentage of the visitors, then why implement the change in the first place?
