Waterloo at Windsor: 1815-2015 will include an exhibition of artefacts, a trail and a new multimedia tour through the State Apartments.
The centrepiece will be the magnificent Waterloo Chamber, commissioned by George, Prince Regent (the future George IV) as a lasting monument to the battle at the heart of Windsor Castle.
