Naturally, the castle is much more than weird oil paintings. It offers great views of the surrounding countryside.
There is an interesting armory.
The castle has its own Catholic church.
And a nice dining room.
What the Arundel folks are most proud of, however, is the room used by Queen Victoria when she stayed at the castle for a few days in 1846.
You will observe that this is not a king-sized bed; nor even, in my estimation, a queen-size. It was, however, the bed shared by Queen Victoria and her husband, Prince Albert.
Her fourth child, Prince Alfred, was born nine months later.
It probably had something to do with Sussex.
Oh my, dear Dan! I am so happy you provided this wonderful response to your clamouring followers regarding Arundel Castle…clearly a major attraction in England of which I was TOTALLY CLUELESS even after numerous visits and the reading of all Rick Steves guidebooks. Thank you dear sir for your erudite weaving of a meaningful narrative of post-Roman Empire British history up to WWI in but a few paragraphs and a cogent images. Astounding! I will return to London on my next trip an newly educated man with brimming cultural confidence.
