You step out of central London traffic and into low, river-silver light as the coach eases through Thameside towns toward Windsor. Oaks lean over stone walls; the river tugs at your attention and seems to dare you to slow down. At Windsor Castle, the scale of the State Apartments and the hush of St George's Chapel pull the day inward — armor and heraldry crowding corridors that have hosted coronations and private moments alike.
