After the fire at Windsor Castle in 1992, Prince Philip was closely involved with the restoration as Chairman of the Restoration Committee, and he took a personal interest in the design of the stained glass windows for the new Private Chapel. Above is the Duke’s own sketch outline showing his ideas for the window, made to assist the stained glass designer and maker, Joseph Nuttgens. On the right is the window as finally installed in the Chapel in 1997.
