- Buckingham Palace throws its gilded doors open to the public for its summer exhibition while the queen is at her summer residence. Elizabeth Palmer takes us inside the 300 year old palace.
I'd feel rich to even breathe in the palace
Ive been very lucky to have access to The Palace since I moved to London 21 years ago with The Army. Ive worked there, lived there, even partied here. A small group of us including footmen and housemaids had a lovely pimms party and picnic on the roof one year. BP holds many happy memories for me. Its an amazing building! The view from the flag pole is something to behold.
Really?
I was given the choice between Windsor Castle or Buckingham Palace, I’d definitely choose Windsor Castle!
Don't touch me
Saxon C I think so too
The queen prefers windsor too
Given the choice, I'd take both!
775 ROOMS!!!!!!! OMG
I'm Cheils

i cant even count to tha number
Dang
When you drive to live in your castle because your palace is being renovated 😒
Which is owned by the tax payer though, she doesn't (nor does any member of the Royals) own Buckingham Palace and thus doesn't form part of the Crown Estate, (Sandringham is one of those the Monarch herself owns, believe Balmoral as well, least I think it does) it's more accurate to see the majority as an Office (if not the whole place) of State like the Home and Foreign Offices.
Jeremy Smith Both BP and WC are owned by The State. Not the tax payer. There is a difference.
And yes, SH and BC are owned privately.
PKIce I drive to my Grandmas house when my house is being renovated... 😔
@@jsmithmultimediatech Wrong. It is owned by the crown estate. All of it is, she just signed over most of the profits. Charles will do the same.
@@stretfordender11 It's held in Trust by the Crown Estate but it certainly doesn't belong to the Monarch at all
Buckingham palace is beautiful. Buckingham and Versailles are my favorite palaces :D
Me too :) Nothing can really beat Versailles though... the French really had an absolute monarchy at the time to do it.
Russian, French, and Spanish palaces are awesome, British palaces are more modest, as the monarchy shared power with parliament, and then became a figurehead in 1660.
have visited france countless times ,
France abolished monarchy, generating more revenue in euros for tourism, from its buildings - palace of Versailles , including countless other palaces , historical and archaeological sites.
Eiffel tower and museums The Louvre south of France , paris Garden of the Tuileries, skiing in french alps etc etc.
Onthemarket Blog, France's monarchy was as absolute monarchy which is why their palaces are so much more impressive. Buckingham House was a much more modest mansion. When Britain became the wealthiest nation on earth Buckingham House was redesigned as a palace, but still not on the scale of France, Spain, or Russia. France is a much more tourist friendly country than the UK. London is a much more diverse world city, Paris is much smaller, very French, conservative place.
This is the 21 century we live in the present .....

Oh dang the house is under renovation guess I’ll just go to another castle. Gotta love them. 😄
This place needs to be a museum. And kick the royals out! Stop making the English pay taxes for them. Greetings from Chicago 🇺🇸
Beautiful palace love United Kingdom from Saudi Arabia
Zikreat Assalām Samādī no ok on
Always love to lived in a castle
Hide and seek 🤣😭
Ho
@@rajeshbinjola5717 What's wrong with you
I can just imagine how hard it is gonna be for the seeker
Glenn Nesmith,RHIT that would be mad fun
Buckingham Palace is wonderful.Thank you Her Majesty to allow the tour of Buckingham Palace
All you saying the UK taxpayer shouldn't be paying for this well they aren't. The Crown estates which are everything the RF owns makes around 200 million a year, from that the queen takes 40 million which covers the cost of maintenance and the salaries of the royal household. The other 160 million goes straight to the UK government. Also, dont forget the amount of money they make for the UK economy all the thousands of tourists coming over and spending money on crap...
Jack The Crown estates belongs to the Crown 👑, they're not the personal property of the monarch. The Queen owns 2 private properties, Balmoral in Scotland, and Sandringham in Norfolk.
@@sarfaraz.hosseini the crown and the queen are one in the same. Also its called her majesty's government for a reason.
She was evicted the (Never were royals ) are commoners ! Murdering monsters arrested !
Wow a beautiful palace i wish i was royalty👑👑👑
Thanks for the advice angel wood
When you have to drive 25 miles to your castle so your palace can get renovated,
Elisabeth Hutchinson point?
I love the design of the palace and inside looks beautiful.Buckingham Palace is worth 1.5 billion pounds if it was sold by her Magisty the Queen Elizabeth the Second.
She cannot sell it, because she does not own it. The Palace belongs to the State, as does Windsor Castle.
Damn I'd love to play hide and seek in there😂😭
🚽 ol
Oh you 'd never find yourself😅
The Queen also has St James's Palace two minutes' walk away, and then there is Kensington Palace 20 minutes' walk away. Then there is Hampton Court Palace which she could use if she wanted. And that's just London. She is not short of residences.
You're quite correct, there are several palaces within walking distance of Buckingham Palace,
but you've missed out one very important detail - the Queen doesn't own any of them.
Hampton Court and Kensington are part of historic royal palaces so not used by the monarch for state occasions or as a residence.....
God Save The Queen. Long Live The Queen.
I have toured both places ! So much fun ! 🏰👑🤴👑🏰
The Crown Estate also owns Windsor Castle and Clarence House, as well as London’s Regent Street and all of the UK’s seabed. The Queen receives an annual grant worth 15% of the Estate’s profits. This year, she received £43 million, while the Treasury was paid £301.4 million - as it does every year. That's self finance folks, if you don't like it you can (quote from below) kiss my Royalist arse. Ten years of full time employment for thousands - a great investment in jobs, well done
John right! Like this institution A) provides countless jobs from maids to tour guides to butlers and conservators and designers and tailors and so on and so forth. And B) the tourism it creates more than covers the cost. And C) the Windsor family is wealthy. Most of it is already theirs
Wow I love it Its so Cool and beautiful!
The Queen and Prince Phillip, will have to move out and live in a castle during renovation. At last a U.K. Resident gets as good as immigrants?
The queen isn't moving out. She has multiple homes and she spends time in different ones at different times of the year.
She can easily move to Windsor Castle?
Three cheers for Her Majesty The Queen.
Wonderfull place wonderful pictures I love this
Beautiful Palace
💞😘🌼🌼👑
Yeeees
Wow it's wonderful, I wish I could visit to place because I am an lndian
FYI. The queen doesn’t own either of these landmarks , they are owned by the crown government! But they are both lavish I’ve been inside both of these many times , still takes your breath away!
Imagine getting invited to eat and you'll just end up using the same Knife, Fork and spoon for all the food.
Yup I'll the that person 😂
*is amazing and beautiful!*
oh my gosh.. nice 🏰
Thanks for visual s.
Many thanks
beautiful palace😍
wow amazing
So who do you think pays for upkeep of St Petersburg palaces and Versailles which is as large as Buckingham Palace and German Places and Vienna. stop gripeing it's a country's heritage and history and historical buildings that brings revenue from tourism to all these places.
Actually, Versailles and BP are about the same size. They both have around 700 rooms. Winter Palace has about 1,000.
Wao very nice
Thankyou
Buckingham palace is NOT 300 years old. It was not a palace until it was enlarged in the 19th century. It wasn't even a royal residence until 1761 when George III bought it for his wife and then it was Buckingham House and only a fraction of the current building and NOT a palace. It wasn't until George IV had Nash enlarge it in the 1800's that it approached it's current grandeur.
nunya biznez I see you have researched unlike some...
They said the BUILING is 300 years old so technically it IS 300+ years old as the building was never destroyed since the beginning...
lovely
Great design on every thing
Beautifuly done
Super Super Super Super Super Super Super
Very beautiful
Very nice and beautiful 😍
I would love to spend one day there...
Difference between Balcony and Veranda should be much clear.
Her parents worked hard, and that’s why uk was the greatest country for centuries and that’s why Queen deserves it. For example Abramovich stole 17 billion$ from Russia and you can buy 17 Buckingham palace with that amount of money but nobody says anything about him.
Windsor would be a delight to reside in!
Thanks for your time and consideration to share.. I responded back to you as soon as I saw your message 😘.
You deserve alot more HRH Queen Elizabeth II for being such a beautiful Queen
Yes ur correct a thief deserves alot more than what she is experiencing right now
Very true. But the Queen isn't HRH. She is HM. There are many Royal Highness but only one His/Her Majesty :)
I find it funny that queens and kings still exist.
its funny you have no kings because your country got invaded
Hey man God put kings on the earth for a reason.
whatever
Bet you would like to live there
they exist, it means they are powerful and love by millions
Does anyone know the name of the march the band plays ?
They get 53p per person but everyone gives them so it comes to £33 million. It's like a mass begging racket.
Way back, not only did the Queen allow BBC cameras around Buck House, but she conducted the tour herself. I seem to recollect she was in jeans. They came to the Royal Art Gallery. Her Art Curator was hanging a picture and he was waffing on about it. The Queen listened for a while and then said "You have hung it upside down". The poor man nearly fell of his ladder and the Queen's mouth twitched.
However, where is that footage now?
Royalty is not all stuffiness. I passed by the stage door of the London Palladium late one night. It opened and Princess Margaret came out accompanied by the star of the show. Since I was the only one around, she smiled, said hi and blew me a kiss.
👌🌹Beautiful🍷
good video
LOVE
Fuckingham palace has so many rooms
Ikr 😂✌🏻fuckingham
I live in a single room above a bowling alley and below another bowling alley.
Res, Great Good Morning 🌹🌟🙏🌟🌹

Nice
Better leave careful instructions with the workmen that if they find any small skeletons they should just discretely dispose of the remains.
Homeeee omgg
Beautiful palace.you are so blessed to have a nice place to live
cool i like it
So much red color !!!!!! Shoking !!
tribute to my beloved Father ❤️
*I went it was Amazing*
BLESSED
OMG you know what I am absolutely shock because I have the same place as queen Elizabeth ii what a coincidence
?
The contempt of the talking heads seems to ooze so effortlessly; it's quite sad, really. Her majesty has done her best and has done good things for her country and many others as well. And, CBS, enough with the class warfare! We just want to heal and move forward, uniting on that which we value in common.
AJ Hubbell , the news media dont keep people apart. What we must accept is that there are people who dont want to get along with others. They willingly make that choice. No one forces them to be mean and resentful, thats just who they are.
Wow the Queen has nic hause 👍👍👍😯😯😯😮
RIP Queen:(
Queen Elizabeth II can be Combination and Permutations too.
Just let me pull out the Excalibur then I will be the king of England
People, please stop disrespecting royal families, and the royal family of any nation. Although they are relatively "useless" in modern times they hold a very huge sentimental value and a lot of great, magnificent history.
Wow this is insane 2020 anyone
❤❤❤
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Ram Hare Ram Ram Ram Hare Hare
I will be there
I think we visited inside..during i stayed in UK
Man... I'm old
The building itself was originally a House, Not a Palace. Built for the Duke of Buckingham in 1703.
I invited the queen to my house, she still hasn’t responded! 🥴
Wow the Palace belongs to the UK Government and they must pay Tax to the British Government as a Crown Land and Property.
Well Buckingham is an expensive House to maintain especially in the UK since 2017.
🥰🥰🥰
I feel sooo poor
Well maybe because your not royalty but queen Elizabeth II is royalty so she definitely needs a castle
@@fabiolaperez3225 me too
Haven't seen Donald as a guest of a honor yet, wonder why 😂
Gumball Watterson - he’s done it?

Do they have consoles like mobile or pc?
Creepy Jackpot20 They don't live in the Stone Age. In 1976 Her Majesty became the first monarch to send an email. Of course they have computers and mobiles.
Don’t worry ur maj we will all help pay for you renovation 👍
Did you know the queen dosent even like buckingham palace, her favourite castle/Palace is Windsor Castle
Oh please
Windosor is a much better palace.
October 28, 2017-- wait...I think I see Robin Hood men in tights at 2:47.. uh ahhhh...never mind... I just thought I saw Robin Hood and Prince John at the castle... also I thought I saw Sheriff of Nottingham in the blue shirt and black pants on your right side ... he almost look like he was guarding the castle....but nah...that's not the sheriff......
when !Lizzie dies this will become a visitor and historic center.. William will wisely start to create a separate storage for the families private collections..
In this world of technology , guess significant of Kings and queen is diminishing.....
If I were a UK taxpayer, I'd be livid over this total waste of money.
War Criminal in Chief - The Royal Family brings in more money to the UK in tourism than it costs to maintain. So it's a net contributor to the UK economy, stupid.
76 juno - that's just what they tell us. Do you believe everything you read in a palace press release???
I didn't get it from a Palace press release. I got it from the Office for National Statistics 1971, 1985, 1994, 2005 and 2014.
trust me, we are livid
I agree! Sell all that crap and give to the poor.
Nice 💯🙏🗡️🗡️🗡️🙏🙏💯💯
