I have participated in Christmas at Windsor Castle for three years now, since my freshman year, and I have to say that it is definitely something I look forward in doing every year, and the Shakespearean theme just adds to it. Last year, my part was in being Captain of the Royal Guard. This year, I have stepped it up a little, and became Lord Chamberlain, the Queen’s right hand man. Some people might be hesitant in committing to it because they find the language intimidating, but it just furthers the final effect. It would not be the same without it. It is Christmas at Windsor Castle for a reason,” junior Tyler Lingle said.
