While it is known that Balmoral Castle was the late Queen’s favourite residence thanks to the privacy she was afforded there, another home that held a deeply special place in her heart was Windsor Castle.
For her sixth birthday in 1932 Princess Elizabeth was gifted a miniature thatched cottage known as Y Bwthyn Bach, or The Little House, by the people of Wales. The house stands at just 22 feet wide and 15 feet high and was built by architect Edmund Charles Morgan Willmott.
