Buckingham Palace: The Interiors Part III

prachtig 👌

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.

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.

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

Beautifully done Mr. Hicks.

A lot of beautiful chinese porcelain in it. Thank you for sharing!

Very much enjoyed this visit, with all its visual detail and history. Thank you!

I like it so much

Tanto lujo saqueado a otros empobreciendo los matandolos ,y sigue la explicación

Symbology here is heinously frightening.

Wow, stunning!

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.

I was there!!! It was great

STUNNING Chinoiserie design and objects...!!!

Such a wonderful series! Comprehensive and entertaining, abs your narration I just adore. Thank you!

Please do more of this - you are brilliant at it, there are many other houses where we need your interiors story telling!

🐲🐯🐍🐶🕰👴☺👍👍👍

I could listen to him all day, so interesting and very educational.

They fu*ked Up Brighton bad. There was nothing left. You so have to do one of these on Brighton

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.

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.

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 .

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!

The foyer just through the Ambassadors' Entrance looks like the drawing room of a perfectly decent home.

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.

Thank you for sharing these marvelous images, especially the detail shots.

Wow whos thinking like me, would love to root through the attics at buck house

I defiantly shall be buying a book when i next get a chance! I've very much enjoyed these videos!

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!

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.

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.

But he didn't show the ball supper room. This is always missed out. Grrrr

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.

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.

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!

Thanks you for these great pictures and stories. Enjoyed all three programmes a lot.

he talks as if has an urgent poo to do

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.
