BBC<\/a> documentary, Fiona Bruce revealed the existence of a “medieval” tunnel route out of the castle.<\/p>\nShe explored a seemingly normal-looking room in the castle, explaining: “This is an office just tucked away in a corner of Windsor Castle. But look under here.”<\/p>\n
She then lifted the carpet and revealed a wooden trap door that provided access to the historic tunnel, “As if by magic,” she said, “just lift these and the medieval castle emerges.”<\/p>\n
Fiona explained that this tunnel has its roots in Windsor Castle history as a fortress, saying: “If you’re a soldier in Windsor Castle under siege you need a way to get out.<\/p>\n
“And this is the secret passage. This is exactly what it looked like in the 1200s. It’s wide enough to accomodate a whole army of men.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
