Thank you Ashley, your fabulous photos made us all feel as if we were in the rooms whilst enjoying a most informative and memorable tour with you as our personal guide.
I find it appalling that the funding of the Sovereign Grant is restricted to only 15% of profits of the Crown Estate revenue. Even then the spending is subject to the scrutiny of the National Audit Office and the Public Accounts Committee. The duties and standard of pay for those in all aspects of the Monarchy and Royal Family should be improved. I contrast this to the £ billions of tax arrangements agreed with tech companies and others, where instead of the income of these businesses remaining in the country via wages, investment or taxes, the £ billions flow to offshore / foreign entities. It's like niggling about the housekeeping whilst draining the country's coffers behind the scenes.
This has been a lovely series! After having watched all three, my mind is really changed about George IV. I used to dislike him because of his reputation but the man was the definition of EXTRA! And I quite admire that. Dressing himself in designs that were borderline theatrical? Buying huge amounts of furniture and decorations? The fact that his collections are still furnishing the two largest palaces after two centuries and who knows what's held in storage! Absolutely marvellous! His reign may have been short and relatively uneventful compared to his predecessor but his style is unmatched! I imagine that if Charlotte hadn't died and he had lived a few more years, he could have possibly doubled his collection.
Dear Mr. Hicks, your book, which is a wonderful treasure of my library is such a lovely delight on a rainy Sunday afternoon, again and again I enjoy reading it and watching the magnificent pictures. Your RUclips documentary is marvelous distraction, when I am out and about. Thank you very much for sharing these impressions of this particular and extraordinary palace. It sets me into the utmost state of amazement, which is one of the most remarkable abilities, humans can do. Have a wonderful day- C
Have just completed all three parts and all I can say is thank you so much. I have always had this fascination with Carlton house and the Royal Pavilion. So the Royal Pavilion seems to have Farmor known about it for me Carlton house must have been the most amazing Building and decorative overlay. Once again thank you so much
Brilliant and Superb, The photography stunning. It brings to mind all of the craftspeople in their studios designing, making each and every piece of many of the most remarkable objects in the world.
No wonder you went into decorating and architecture! Talk about a pivotal experience, seeing (any part of) Buckingham palace every year as a child! Thanks for this series. It was terribly interesting. I wish the Bristol Pavilion was still as it was, though- what a fun place.
Thank you for this series! I especially enjoyed the "then and now" comparisons and contrasts, and of course, all of the Victorian-era watercolors of the Palace. Well done!
Thank you so much for the excellent 3 part series of pictures from your wonderful book on Buckingham Palace. Having you explain all the wonderful pieces of the Royal Collection make this so personalized.
Loved the series. Liked seeing the private rooms of the castle and enjoyed the depth of interesting explanation. If anyone ever wants to brush up on having a posh English accent, this is the video to watch. Ashley does it beautifully and perfectly. Sounds quite a lot like Mountbatten actually.
Very interesting , it is said the Queen dislikes living here and I can understand why it feels like a collection of rooms and styles . However your narration is good . That ‘ interrupted ‘ portrait did hold my gaze
The Queen doesn't live in the state rooms shown here. Her private apartment is much more restrained, with far less gilding more like a normal upper class house.
I so enjoyed this series. I live in Charlotte, North Carolina in Mecklenburg County so I was particularly interested in all of the information given regarding King George III. Especially Queen Charlotte's gifted porcelain set. Though we Yanks aren't particularly fond of the monarchy as you well know, we do enjoy superb interiors. Thank you!
Thoroughly enjoyed this series, and your narration was perfect and unbelievably knowledgeable. What an extraordinary collection of beautiful objects and craftsmanship. What a privilege it must have been to peruse and document these wonderful items.
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. What a fountain of knowledge. I may have to watch it a couple of times just to get all of the detail. I hope the folks that interact with the rooms realize how lucky they are to be able to view such wonders at will.
Thank you for your intelligent descriptions of those extraordinary rooms. I can only imagine the royal children staring at those dragons (and their teeth) in the room outside the balcony.
Terrific series. I'm neither a fan of interior design nor art history but I couldn't stop watching... all three. I don't know if I would have watched if not for the wonderful narration by Ashley Hicks. I was left wondering how often the thousands of chairs throughout the palace are actually sat upon.
Fascinating. Your description, knowledge and images set your three posts on the interior of Buckingham Palace quite apart from anything else on this subject. Very many thanks.
Sorry I posted before I was finished. I love all three of your videos, my only disappointment is your series is now finished. I've ordered your book and can't wait till it's here. Thank you for your amazing work.
🤣 Victoria loved those riding breeches! Actually the artist is rather pervy; I looked at similar portraits and that “attention to detail” was a constant.
Wonderful series, especially seeing the semi state rooms that aren't open during the summer opening of the state apartments. The book is on my wish list for Christmas.
I visted the palace shortly after it was open to the public. Just shows how little the public was shown at that time. Beautiful items but you can understand why the family are reluctant to live there, its a museum. Thanks for all your information.❤
Thanks so much for an interesting series. Wouldn't it be wonderful if one day the fittings and furniture from the Brighton Pavilion were returned to their original settings.
Thank you for sharing your insights into the palace. The Chinese rooms are incredible. I can only imagine what the team of preservations and conservators face on a daily basis. It is an extraordinary place.
Wow, so much furniture, can’t imagine what is in storage. Gaudy but a slice of hundreds of years of decorating styles. I am amazed at the obsession with clocks. I assume the private rooms are more “normal”. I wouldn’t want to live in a museum. I can see why Queen Elizabeth prefers Windsor or Sandringham to this palace.
A brilliant series, Ashley. Thank you so much. It is particularly fascinating to see how the decorative schemes have evolved over time (and not always for the best). It does seem a shame that everything is preserved in aspic these days; the one upside to the fire at Windsor Castle was the chance for some contemporary additions to be made to the Castle.Thanks again, and I'll definitely look out for the book.
I think the royal family are wise enough to know that they could hardly improve what is already there. The White house in america has been downgrading in quality ever since the Teddy Roosevelt redecoration early 1900s, because every subsequent change has been an exercise in deteriorating taste.
Love the wallpaper in the yellow drawing room, especially the cranes. "Vases turned top to toe," exquisite. Sevres, picked them up on the cheap in Paris by the pastry chef.
Really enjoyed this historical tour. I always wondered what the room looked like off the balcony….this was quite unexpected and marvellous! I’m from Canada and don’t know what Brighton is but will do some research now. Thank you
Absolute loved this series, I'm one that could spend hours on hours in a single room studying everything down to the tiniest detail. So many of the rooms have enormous chandeliers, is there any information on those as well? Thank you for this wonderful tour!
This artwork, this decoration, this house is just so beyond extravagant, it's a museum, ok. But who would want to live in it? It wears me out to have to look at it all. :sigh:
@@stanbrown32 No, of course. This is the Royal Home Office, where Officialdom do their entertaining, greeting and negotiating. There's staff housing, 100+ rooms plus Offices. Yes, but who wants to live in a 770-room OFFICE complex?
@@stanbrown32 I just put myself in their place, looking around at all this. What if I had to manage and take care of this large corporation? I can put myself in their shoes, why not?
@@shechaiyah6869 Their shoes are quite different, though, as the royal family are born into that situation--they know nothing else. Possibly it was different for the Duchess of Cambridge, as she came from an entirely different rank in life--but she knew what she was signing up for when she married Prince William.
This palace is filled with "extraordinary objects" The detail! That little devil bell push!! Thank you for showing us all of this! Lovely photos also. These are all in the book?
Like him or not, the prince of Wales - king Goerge 4 Was a prolific collector and if it wasn’t for him, Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle would be rather empty of furniture, artwork and history. Bravo Goerge 4.
There’s something quite telling in the degree to which Victoria and Albert’s decorating scheme, and indeed the entire use of Buckingham Palace, was about adapting the legacy of George IV’s excesses.
The history of the home and how it has evolved since it was in it's most humble period of a townhome it's quite interesting. My favorite room in the home by far would be the blue drawing room I've always appreciated the wonderful design and colors that were chosen for it ever since I was a child and to this day it is still by far my favorite.
I have a Question dose all the fireplaces work in Buckingham palace....i would like to say thank you for this Series on the vist to Buckingham palace interior
I love this .so captivating . They ( whoever maintains this palace ) should refurbish buck pal, as it is only the office , and return, reinstate all the Chinese artefacts back to the pavilion in Brighton , I don’t think it suits buck pal at all. would love to see the pavilion restored bought back to life , as it was .
Il est très intéressant de pouvoir comparer les différents stades de décoration de ces étonnantes pièces orientales pleines de fantaisie extraordinaire. Le premier état d’origine est toujours le plus beau, malheureusement gâché par la francophilie sans âme qu’imposa le roi Édouard VII. Merci à la reine Mary d’avoir patiemment rétabli tous ces décors audacieux et anti-conventionnels.
"...given the rather marked... interruption to the line of the tsar's riding breeches, if you see what I mean." Only a blind person could miss it! Perhaps Victoria was not quite as prudish as we've been led to believe...
She was far from prudish. After giving birth to her last baby the doctor said she should have no more. She replied, "oh doctor, am I to have no more fun in bed?"
I feel like a Blore (the “bore”) is unfairly maligned. His east facade (@17:04) seems more interesting than the current, drab, institutional frontage-particularly that central section. Nash, on the other hand, seems totally overrated. I mean, the throne room we saw in part I, with those winged Victories and festoons, looks like some ersatz Broadway theater. Hard pass. Haha.
Odd that Princess May of Teck was described as May of Cambridge when she married Prince George in 1893. Of course it was her mother Mary Adelaide who was born a Princess of Cambridge. Just a slip of the tongue!
While the rest of the world is getting DNA tests to find out where they come from, the Queen has all her relatives staring at her from every room. That's actually kinda creepy.
No wonder the Royal family does not enjoy living in this vulgar mausoleum. They should be encouraged to leave for something warmer, human. Opened entirely to the public as a museum one could see the true miseries of their past occupants.
Queen Victoria was a dirty minded broad, you def know why she loved that portrait so much... And your discussion of this palace make it interesting and bearable but its really a monstrous mess. The freaking carpet is hideous. Can't there be a hard surfaced floor anywhere??? And all the white and gold, its like a Disney designed palace. Its cliche and generic. The rooms would be so much more beautiful if there was more color. The green drawing room is beautiful...
It’s a massive palace, but it’s not a nice one. Such a mish mash of styles and furniture and colours. It was national mass vandalism for Edward VII to white wash the entire place. The really low ceiling and gloomy look of the main entrance hall and corridor is tragic. It just hits you how wrong it is. Having visited most of the finest country houses on this island I’m staggered at just how awful the main entrance design really is. I guess Windsor is the real palace. That’s a fortress on the outside but an Uber plush palace inside. Buck house is just not quite anything. Neither fresh fish or foul. And seeing the asylum green walls and bright red carpets on the corridors. Ouch. Endless faux pillars faux stone faux plaster faux onyx and faux everything else. The windows are Far to small and no where near enough windows. The ball room has almost no windows. They need thousands of light bulbs on in the palace all day every day. Sunny or not. That is tragic too . All in all a dull gloomy but very very big building.
Aay Grg :He is part of the hypnospelling class that’s now deposed! Goodness Almighty, SPIRIT IF TRUTH OWNS AND RULES THIS WORLD FOREVER! Capitalism is squashed and cancelledout forever!

So.... the Head of the Church of England, who believes herself to be "Divinely Appointed"... lives in a Palace loaded (literaly, floor to ceiling) with pagan gods, pagan symbolisms, and mythical references. I saw not a single reference to God, Christ, Holiness, Faith, or anything Biblical at all. Seems clear that the Crowns true devotion is to give Glory to all things worldly and pagan. This place is a nightmare.
You might want to explore other books to look into the royal chapel at Windsor and the churches at Sandringham and Balmoral. The Buckingham Palace chapel was damaged by bombing in World War II and the area given over to the Queen's Gallery.
Thank you Ashley, your fabulous photos made us all feel as if we were in the rooms whilst enjoying a most informative and memorable tour with you as our personal guide.
Wow. The people who keep this place and its contents clean deserve a huge amount of credit!
Yes - I agree ... I couldn't stop thinking about who does the dusting?
