The "explainers" did such a great job. Your last photo, of the table and chairs, in a smaller room, if I remember correctly, was one of my favourites, for it was there that William and Mary would spend time together quietly and look out on the gardens. I think that's the room with a lot of chinese porcelain, as well. I'll be reading more of your wonderful posts.

Wow. What a fascinating place. There are so many cool things to see, but especially the Queen Victoria dress and jewels, as well as that other dress. The "potty" story is interesting. Can you imagine being the page who had to walk around with the pot?

This was wonderful and I really enjoyed it. While I was researching the Kings and Queens AB I made for my friend, I remember reading the portrait Victoria made for Albert was rather scandalous, since women were never seen with their hair down in those days. No one saw it for years except Albert, Victoria, and the artist.<br /><br />This brought back wonderful memories for me as my research went in depth with Victoria. I was so happy to see you were there and I look forward to more of this fabulous place one of these days. So grateful for you and your photos, too.<br /><br />I wanted to let you know about a comment you left me about the paint chip trees and you turning them into place settings for Christmas next year. I suggest you glue two trees together back to back before you cut the trees. There is writing on the back of each paint chip that would distract from the beauty of the place setting. The large Behr ones are the best and you get them at Home Depot.Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-30561465797620002942019-01-09T12:15:05.230-05:002019-01-09T12:15:05.230-05:00That first gown of Queen Victoria is beautiful.That first gown of Queen Victoria is beautiful.Sandra Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814573408898140885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-50766943949979958642019-01-09T11:42:08.398-05:002019-01-09T11:42:08.398-05:00Thank you so much for taking me on such a lovely t...Thank you so much for taking me on such a lovely tour of the Palace.

I've been there, twice, once with my husband, sister and brother in law. Oh how we enjoyed it and then once with my bestie. The first visit was early March and we walked in from the park in back, covered in daffodils. I will never forget that, so beautiful. I really enjoyed your photos, some shots I remember and others I don't remember (think I need a return visit).You really did get some great photos.
