*There is only one problem with this video. On some of the scenes, the text would not stay up long enough to read. I tried to fix it but it didnt work so you may need to pause it to read the text before moving on. Sorry about this, next time I will try harder to fix this small problem*

England's most famous royal palace, and the official residence of Queen Elizabeth II, opens the doors of its State Rooms to the public every summer. Originally acquired by King George III for his wife Queen Charlotte, Buckingham Palace was increasingly known as the 'Queen's House' and 14 of George III's children were born there. On his accession to the throne, George IV decided to convert the house into a palace and employed John Nash to help him extend the building. Queen Victoria was the first sovereign to live in Buckingham Palace (from 1837). The State Rooms are now still used by the Royal Family to receive and entertain guests on State and ceremonial occasions. Visitors can admire some of the more unusual gifts received by the current Queen, including drawings by Salvador Dali, an embroidered silk scarf from Nelson Mandela and a grove of maple trees. Decorated in lavish fashion, the rooms include paintings by Rembrandt, Rubens, Canaletto, Vermeer and Poussin, sculpture by Canova, exquisite examples of Sevres porcelain, and some of the finest English and French furniture in the world. The Ball Supper Room, the setting for a host of sparkling events in the history of the palace, 29 acre gardens and annual exhibitions are all also available to visitors.

Best for:
Rembrandt, Rubens and Rooms of State, House of Windsor, ceremony and history, Nash architecture and design.

Did you know?
Queen Victoria ordered the removal of Marble Arch from the palace to its present position near Hyde Park in order to make way for more bedrooms.

Britain will prevail only if its leaders put political correctness aside, toss it out the window and fix the muslim problem Great Britain is facing. Until that day happens Britain is at risk. At risk of becoming a muslim state. Europe is in the same shape. France, its too late to save them. If proper action is not take very soon with this matter. People can now say Progressivism is what killed Europe as we know it.
