Hercules Returns to Windsor Castle

0:00On April 21st, King Charles is bringing back a bronze sculpture of Hercules and a Kaleas from Cue Gardens to Windsor Castle after 69 years, away. The piece, made by Charles Crizatier, first joined the Royal Collection when George IV bought it in 1829. It's heading right back to the Fountain in the East Terras Garden. That garden spot held the statue during the King's first nine years at Windsor. It stood there until renovations in 1957 forced it out. Plans to move it to Hampton Court fell through due to lack of funds, so it went into storage before landing at Cue in 1963 as a Fountain centerpiece. When the decision dropped last October, folks scratched their heads, wondering why the King needed another treasure with the massive Royal Collection. Already in play, but it's deeply personal, Charles spent idyllic childhood days there, riding horses with Princess Anne and enjoying terrace barbecues. Now we know to reclaim its exact original position.

1:01Windsor has become the King's main base lately, where he holds investitures and adds personal touches from high grove to his quarters. This move wraps up a full circle for the sculpture, tying the monarch's pass right into his present at the castle. That's the story for today. Entertainment and celebrity news.
