Hi Simon and Team! I left a comment in the general feed but thought it might be good to respond to this thread; the sponsor link is only available to Americans, according to the site tonight. I’m located in Australia and not sure if I misheard your advert or if you guys aren’t aware. Be super cool if they were to become available here! Thanks for all your hard work, your channels are one of my staples for a relaxed and informative evening. All the best!
Many years ago, while walking in the area of Buckingham Palace, I stumbled upon the Queen's Gallery. The two items I can remember seeing that day: a letter from George George III lamenting the loss of the American colonies and the shirt Charles I wore on the morning of his execution. It was a cool morning, and the king asked for another shirt to put on "lest my enemies think I tremble with fear". It's one thing to read about something in a history book, it's quite another to see it with your own eyes.
I had the same feeling when I saw the crown jewels at the tower of London. Also, I've never seen something sparkle the way they did either, I had always figured it was just some sort of special effect added in movies... but nope those things sparkle like a thousand shafts of light it every direction, it is incredibly stunning.
He did, but was a hopeless architect. He didn't realise that the dome of the music room would be visible from the front of the Palace, so it had to be rebuilt. I looked at buying a Nash house in Wiltshire about 20 years ago. He had forgotten to put fireplaces in the entrance hall and staircase hall, and the attic windows looked straight into a stone wall because he forgot to put in openings for them.
Another fantastic video, meticulously researched by every right-thinking person's favorite RUclips presenter! Well, not *personally* researched, because, you know, he's Simon. :-)
When I first visited London many, many years ago, and visited Buckingham Palace, I was really underwhelmed. I found it rather boring looking. When I travelled with friends or family to London, I always take them there, because they want to see it, but even now, I'm still not more fascinated by it than nearly 20 years ago.I always visit St. James Park after, a place I enjoy much more.

Knickers right? However u say it, the queen wears knickers lol. Robbed by young boys or not...they are absolutely knickers. Wonder what ma'am calls her under garments tho?
Monk dragging chains? You sure you didn't mis-read it? I'm pretty sure you meant maid dragging chains~ XD Only anime fans would get this~ (I don't think many anime fans will watch this type of video though, so for those who don't know, I'm referring to Rem, from Re:Zero)
$80. I'll pass. I paid the same price for a set of over-the ear noise canceling Cowin's that run for 20 hours. Only ones that sound slightly better are a set of $300 Bose's.
Alright Simon. I bought some raycon earbuds, been dissatisfied with other wireless earbuds cause they don't last a shift. That satisfyingly clippy recharging case best work as advertised.

When I was 13 in 1969, my Mum, brother and I went to England to visit family (I'm Canadian). We got to go into the palace and sign the guest book. It is something I'll never forget!
You forgot about that time Jacob and Evie Frye, known assassins, managed to crash a ball at Buckingham Palace in 1868. Fortunately they meant the queen no harm.
@Geographics Hey Simon, can you do an episode on the canals of the UK and narrow boats? How did these things come to be? And what kind of odd things are around the canals?

Edward Blore was known for his Blorish ways and was also very fond of his vittles. Time and time again he would walk up and down the chancellery while expelling gargantuan Flatulents that we’re so loud that the guards would rush to the main court yard believing that Napoleon and his armies were attacking the capital. In the end he had to be restrained and thereby the grand corridor was nicknamed “The grand Flatulent of Blores rumples” in the end he met his untimely demise while addressing the King 🤴 and it is said that his final Flatulent was so enormous that it blew the king 27 and a half feet into the air and broke the rear left leg of the throne. Unfortunately for Edward his finale seemed to have vaporised him as no sign of the architect was ever found. He indeed left a lasting legacy of the which can still be smelt to this day. Queen Elizabeth later developed breathing difficulties because of the virulent smell and has always tried to avoid spending more than 1 hour per year within the great hall. After the air had cleared the king landing back down on his broken throne the court was in shock to see that the kings clothes were blown completely off his esteemed body and a wide eyed look of terror on his startled face. Thus came the story of the “Kings new clothes” and a 1 penny stamp was promoted to commemorate the occasion. Then end.
Simon, pls consider adding more graphics/pictures to illustrate your talk. I'd love to have seen more of the palace old façade, picture of the palace when bombed, of some of the people you mentioned, etc. Thanks, i really enjoy your videos.
If Simon had read this script on Business Blaze, he'd probably never be able to return to Britain under penalty of them sending him to the Tower of London like in the good ol' days.
@@mikeprandota3120 whaa?!?! That's real? I guess when your THAT powerful, and THAT wealthy there are a lot of things you can get people to turn a blind eye to. Look, already people have largely forgotten about that whole thing and it was last year basically. You can expose it to the light but that spotlight seems to fade awfully quick.
The history of Buckingham Palace is quite fascinating! 👑 I bet the palace is going to be around for years and years to come. I would love to learn about the Palace of Versailles next! 🏰
Fun fact; When Buckingham house was being built the Duke of Buckingham was late in paying the builders of the house. The chief architect took The duke and his wife up to the roof and told them if they don’t pay up they’ll be thrown down.. surely enough they paid up.
I stood outside Buckingham Palace in 2014. I doubt I ever will, but someday I'd like to go inside and see what it's like. Also, please do a video on the Grand Guignol theater.
Hi Simon and Team! I’m in Australia and tried to purchase some earbuds via your sponsor link, however, it appears to be region locked to America only. Thought you should know (if you don’t already!)
Apparently in June and July there are guided tours inside Buckingham Palace, when the Royals aren't there. And, no doubt one can only go on guided tours inside.
I assumed someone else might have picked it up but couldn’t find it in the comments; Whistler said that Nash’s budget for building the palace was 15’000’000 in today’s money while the number written on the screen was 50’000’000, which one is it?
For people that complain about supporting the Royal Family with their taxes - the Royals bring in way more money than they cost even when you don't count the tourism to visit their properties
Mr. Whistler: Tops, that's it -- just Tops. Only one request, I wish there had been more graphics of the palace through the years. Yoda, Yoda, or is that yadda, yadda?
When I was 2 my parents walked away not realizing that I was still at the fence watching the horses. Luckily I was still there when they did a headcount and realized they were missing one.
OMG lucky for you they didn't swipe you up. That palace is well known and notorious for Paedo rings. Even though the Queen tries to conceal it with laws. Thank God your parents got you quick.

you might want to fix your comment as you said George George III instead of King George III
The dude that broke into the palace and stole the Queen's underwear is my new hero 😂
"Nash may have splashed the cash"
He did, but was a hopeless architect. He didn't realise that the dome of the music room would be visible from the front of the Palace, so it had to be rebuilt. I looked at buying a Nash house in Wiltshire about 20 years ago. He had forgotten to put fireplaces in the entrance hall and staircase hall, and the attic windows looked straight into a stone wall because he forgot to put in openings for them.

Nash needed Cash. You couldn't wait to drop that one
How could you forget the fathers for justice guy dressed as Batman who climbing over the wall and even put a banner up lol
Security doesn't seem a priority in the US either. Secret Service had a few scandals in the recent past.
"Wild West ho' House," is what comes to mind.
I think the Queen could have taken Fagan in a fight.
I think Fagan was trying TO GET OUT: escaping from these Monster Horrors!
It’s good to be the Queen
Knickers right? However u say it, the queen wears knickers lol. Robbed by young boys or not...they are absolutely knickers. Wonder what ma'am calls her under garments tho?

Can we have a biographics on Simon Whistler? The man who made a YT documentary monopoly
I'd like to see a Simon Whistler Biographics as well !
We need it
Are u new to this channel, he said countless time that he never do this because he feels uncomfortable.
Since he is the latest iteration of James Bond, I doubt that MI-6 will allow it.
_”Aristocrats and criminals have a lot in common. They're both selfish, get bored easily, and have access to wads of cash they didn't have to work honestly to get.”_

Shit where do I sign up for that.
True dat!

At least John Gwynn has a friendly monk to keep him company. They like playing chess together.

Boy Jones is defenitly an anime character , he had a Brazil Arc and the 3rd season Australia Arc
Yep... he'd be the main protagonist of one of them fanservice for guys heavy anime involving peaking on women and being a perv...
Plenty of room for a beach episode in either arc!

True story.........
I say again; no one says "EMPAAAIRE" more british than Simon!
Simon deserves his own palace with every room looking exactly like the background
you again, here?
What makes you think he doesn’t already have one
if it is fine to mispronounce lolol
I say yes
I listen to you all the time. Even doing chores. Keeping this Canadian sane during this crazy time
Same
Allegedly!!! Simon did you for get you weren’t doing a Business Blaze? Lol
Ha! I immediately thought of Business Blaze and said "allegedly" right after Simon did!😆

So when will you do a Biographics on Prince Andrew?
Without the sausages😂
Mariela Que When they discover his rapey-island too.
Yes and the rest. All shoved under the dirty royal carpets.
Yeah and that episode could be sponsored by the new Netflix documentary "Filthy Rich" about the Prince's old friend Jeffrey.
My Boi with the Geo Blaze...your videos are the best escape from the reality of life in the U.S. at present. Thank you💙
There we go! Finally a palace. Now let's travel East to Tibet and check out the Potola Palace.

New King of England
John Gregory Hallett lll
Nah he isn’t worthy of the crown.
@@Corgipon Who really is this so-called incumbent king...I can't hold my breath!
Philip is of Greek origin not German. All of his sisters married German officers which is why they wasn't at the wedding of Phillip to the Queen
How do you prevent your glasses from casting a glare in your videos? Are you using special lenses that allow you film under studio lights?
Well not him, I’m sure he hired someone because, you know, he’s the Duke... lol 😂
Mr Whistler, I always enjoy anything you narrate. I pay attention dutifully even to the commercials.
Could we please talk about the amazing blazers Simon has been wearing lately!!??!!?
I wonder if the descendants of Aston Webb still doing architecture job, but instead designing building, he designed A web as his name said.
This is a very well-written episode.
I stood outside Buckingham Palace in 2014. I doubt I ever will, but someday I'd like to go inside and see what it's like. Also, please do a video on the Grand Guignol theater.

Could you explain why Buckingham palace is now all boarded up & the Queens seal has gone ?
Why am I not surprised they don’t pay well!
Why
Interesting most interesting video! I learned a lot about the origins of Buckingham Palace today! Thank you, Simon!
A most enjoyable video,as usual,Simon.Thank you .
