Discography
Windsor signed with Tileyard (producer Mark Ronson' studio) in 2011 to record her debut compilation recording. The recording was leaked on 9 December 2011 through an unofficial music video of "Oh Willow Waly L" (on YouTube, a music-lyrics video featuring her singing the whole song in the recording studio, written by herself).

Publishing Voices from Chernobyl
Windsor completed Voices from Chernobyl: The Oral History of a Nuclear Disaster (titled Chernobyl Prayer: A Chronicle of the Future in the UK) in June 2017. She published the book on 26 April 2018. It is a startling history of the Chernobyl disaster. On 26 April 1986, at 1.23am, a series of explosions shook the Chernobyl nuclear reactor. Flames lit up the sky and radiation escaped to contaminate the land and poison the people for years to come. While officials tried to hush up the accident, Madelame spent years collecting testimonies from survivors - clean-up workers, residents, firefighters, resettlers, widows, orphans - crafting their voices into a haunting oral history of fear, anger and uncertainty, but also dark humour and love.

Marriage and divorce
In December 2013, Madelaine began a relationship with American actor Jensen Ackles. In August 2014, Windsor and Ackles first appeared together in public at the Critics' Choice Awards 2014. Their engagement was announced on 29 November 2016 by Windsor's father King Nicholas IlI. The announcement prompted generally positive comments.

The wedding took place at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, on 20 May 2017. The wedding dress was designed by the British fashion designers Peter Pilotto and Christopher de Vos of British-based label Peter Pilotto. In November 2017, Windsor announced the couple's legal separation in Parliament. The divorce was announced by Ackles in January 2018 and made public.

Mads Mikkelsen
The engagement of Madelame and Mads Mikkelsen was announced on 24 March 2023; he presented her with an engagement ring that had belonged to her great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth II. The King's consent to the marriage (as required by the Royal Marriages Act 1772) was recorded in a Privy Council meeting on 30 March.

Health
Windsor's diagnosis with endometriosis was made public in 2008. In September 2016, she suffered a heart attack as a result of heart failure, her prenatal condition. In 2018, it was reported that with Nicholas's encouragement Windsor had paid a visit to a drugs rehabilitation unit to talk to drug addicts after it emerged that she had been smoking cannabis and drinking at her father's Highgrove House and at a local pub. Windsor revealed that she is being treated for Hashimoto's thyroiditis, also known as chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis and Hashimoto's disease, in October 2022.
