Kensington Palace was the most delightful experience of my first trip to London....I went to see the Court Dress display and was delighted to discover all the rest of the Palace that was open to visitors.
Very excellent program with some of my favorite British historians making appearances & offering their always interesting & perceptive comments. In recent years, such docs as these have made royalty much more understandable to me, in terms of the real human beings each of them were. The number of pregnancies certain queens had staggers the imagination. The frequent, sudden deaths of parents when a child was extremely young, also is unimaginable. Even the slightest of diseases & illnesses could do one in, medicine still so primitive. The architectural lesson was new info to me, at first I thought out of place but became quite absorbed with it & enjoyed. The segment where the Georgian court fashion of extremely wide dresses is discussed & explained, finally answered, I think, my recent interest in how such fashions got started. This was fascinating info! Although I'd love to go back in time & experience every single day of life at Kensington, especially in the time of Sarah Churchill, I'd give just about anything to have been present on the morning when Victoria learned she was Britain's new queen. All of these things, as revealed in this wonderful program, make one's imagination soar!
The fashions during this period are so baffling. Why did everyone want to walk around with prematurely gray hair, dress like a flat wall, and have to crab-walk sideways through their buildings?
Love watching documentaries about palaces🏰. 👏💯

Kensington palace is such so wonderful and full of history.
Really enjoy all these palace tours.
I reallly enjoyed it!
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this extremely well presented documentary.
Thank you to all involved. RIP Princess Diana 💔 and Queen Elizabeth II.

Beautiful presentation, thank you
Diana’s absence is so very heartbreaking. The “what if’s” are unimaginable.
A great yet cozy palace…
I am obsessed with the royals. I so enjoy everything to do with the Royals. I guess I am a Royalist just like my mom was.

Queen Mary was also born at Kensington in the same room as Queen Victoria
& grew up there

Est ce que c'est vraiment prudent de documenter les détails de l'architecture
des residences royale ou même des lieux de pouvoir?
What's your point? Prudent? Really.
The interior is lovely but from the outside i think it looks quite dull and a bit cheap even.
i dont think Christopher Wren ever did cheap
🙄

Why on earth would an educated woman like Tracy Borman call queen Victoria “queen of England” to me, it beggars belief.
Did you mean “mysterious “ ?
Sad to see the harkles mentioned, two entitled people that would never appreciate the history of their photo op location
I wish the harkles would just go away.

It was the style so of course they were willing.
to be honest i rather see a woman in those gorgeous dresses than the sausage rolls pressed into their shorts that one can see now...
I think Wren and William are both in desperate need of the services of a hairdresser
I suspect a wig dresser would be more appropriate.
