A Royal Welcome

On Saturday Buckingham Palace opened A Royal Welcome, a public flaunting of the 19 State Rooms for Chinese tourists. You don't have to be Chinese, but how many Londoners can afford £20.50 for admission, £18.80 for silver surfers? Shown is the Thrones Room. Buckingham Palace is both the office and London residence of Her Majesty The Queen. It is one of the few working royal palaces remaining in the world today. The State Rooms are used for ceremonial occasions and official entertaining. CLICK to book tickets.
