Sometimes I can understand why the french commoners thought heir rulers lived in decadence. Frugality and simplicity should have been traits every monarch should have embraced. But as always: Preaching water and drinking wine. I can only see two very known monarchs in history who can be seen as dearly frugal: George VI and his daughter Elizabeth II (I cannot speak for monarchs of the rest of the european kingdoms because I simpy dont know them that much) And to this day Imo Elizabeth II never stepped outside that box. This featured room, as a feature of rich history as it is, is totally unnecessary and really tells the tale of decadence.
Another was George III (the mad King who lost America, yes). He would've much preferred to live as a farmer with his beloved wife and unending gaggle of children. In fact, even before his "madness" he was thought weird for acting like he was simple country folk.
I thought that it was only after George IV had died that the Centre Room was created. So I think it is misleading to claim that this room was George IV’s favourite room.
Bad choice calling it "oriental" style. "Oriental" is an offensive word and you should look up the meaning behind it. Maybe choose "Asian inspired" instead.
I could just listen to it all day long
Lovely video.
I liked it a lot.
Thank you BBC.
The rich of the past had good taste compared to the rich of today.
It’s good to be the king.

@@QuarterLifeCrisesGeorge V and William IV as well were quite frugal.
Everything seemed better then... now lots of multilevel trash.
All that Private Education and yet apostrophe.

Do all of these items belong to the British people?
No. All this stuff is in possession of the state. Basically it is Elizabeth II stuff.
Oriental fashion is the worst that an English palace could get.
must be swell living off the sweat and blood of other people for centuries?
Is it true king George invented pegging?
I wouldn't say invented, popularized maybe. All you need for it really is a long smooth object and a thing to strap it with.
