Buckingham palace is owned by the crown estates. It is not personally or privately owned. The royal family are charged with maintaining it in cooperation with the state as it is state property. That is why the monarchy has to use public funds to renovate the palace. That is also why King Charles wants once the renovations are complete, he plans to open up more of the palace to the public for longer periods of time. Buckingham palace is a part of the history of Great Britain’s culture. Nearly every tourist that goes to England makes plans to see or tour the palace. It is one of the draws that brings in tourist dollars that supports Britains economy. It is one of the most impressive important palaces in the world. It is like a huge museum of British history.
Now to assume the "State" is somehow independent of the crown is a very seditious and Republican idea. All those arrangements are merely Constitutional processes to lengthen the reign of the Monarch.
Most of the Russian populace were starving, and the zar commissioned a faberge egg - setting the stage for his own demise as well as that of his wife and children. Not sure it was "unfortunate" = it was, however, logical.
Horrific deaths. The Faberge Egg was made before they were executed so mercilessly....children! As they stared at their executioners...totally cold blooded. They were distantly related to the British Royal family.
Yes the memory of QEII's grandparents denying the Tsar's request for safe passage to England for his family. Way to go cousin! At least the egg made it out safe.😑
@@fourthgirl Right. King George left the decision up to Queen Mary if they should rescue the Romanov family and she said NO. But then turns around and buys their faberge egg that potentially caused their deaths AND bought it from the ones who murdered them ... That was left out on the history of that egg, in this video.
Prince Philip was related to them. His grandmother was a Romanov. And Queen Elizabeth was related to them as well. Her grandfather was the tsar's cousin.
I love the art collection, gardens, Queen Victoria's piano, the Corgis, and of course, the jewels. Most of all, I am most fascinated with Eardley Norton's clock.
Fabergé and his creative talent together with his masterful craftsmanship is overwhelmingly beautiful, remarkable, outstanding and just about other-worldly. The dexterity, patience, again creativity, focus, imagination and finished product(s) are simply unequalled and completely wordless in admiration and description.

Just looking at this piece shows awe inspiring talents & the gifted jewelers who worked on this Egg! Thank goodness it was saved when the Romanovs were murdered! Breathtaking history ❤️
The mosaic Faberge egg is beautiful and memorable. The images of the children are poignant and sad. The jewels and how they are placed on the egg are unmatched in design and exquisite craftsmanship! Thank you for sharing this video.
Do you know what happened to the children. They were all murdered in the night, by a Jew. Even the family dog was murdered. The Egg is a very sad story. And should not be there.

My 8 year old granddaughter sent Charles a birthday card. She did it on her own. She got a personal letter back, signed by him. It meant a lot to her. Very nice and decent man.
Wow, I was originally going to tell him that I was really ill in 2023 and was looking forward to the coronation but I spent him my official drawing of his late beloved mother Queen Elizabeth II and I’m sure he’s very grateful for it
In primary school aged about 7 or so we were as a class told to send out letters asking 'famous' people their favorite foods. We got a few sheets of A4 paper with the addresses of ppl. I chose the Queen and another girl in our class chose Princess Diana. After a few weeks I got my reply. A pretty standard letter saying they'd got it signed by a lady in waiting and the Queen and the girl who wrote to Princess Diana got a hand written reply to her letter from Diana.
I don't like price tags being put on paintings and artwork, since the real worth of art is being appreciated for the skill and passion that went into making it
Thank you for the tour of Buckingham Palace. It was enjoyable and informative. At my age travel is impossible so I particularly enjoyed and appreciate your informative descriptions. Even though I’m American I always admired Queen Elizabeth. She truly was the world’s greatest diplomat.
Wah! It is beautiful. There are no words to explain the luxury. It shows the taste, love, passion to possess the most luxurious items of the world, from ages by the royal family, the value of which cannot be measured at all. Thanks for showcasing the Palace and its priceless treasures.
The Palace belongs to the State not the Royal family. The dear Queen DIDNT live in it for three years before her sad death and due to an on going renovation Charles wont be living there either ,it’s said it will be another7 years before it’s complete. Of course the state rooms and balcony are used for big occasions but Charles lives at Clarence House which was left to him by the Queen Mother in 2002. The gardens and finished rooms along with the Queens gallery are open to the General Public.
The Queen Mother didn’t leave Charles Clarence House as it is part of the Crown Estate. The Queen lived there with Prince Philip after her marriage, before she became Queen and moved to Buckingham Palace. The Queen Mother took over the tenancy after the death of her husband.
Buckingham Palace, like Windsor Castle, is owned by the reigning monarch in right of the Crown. This means that Queen owned the palace in her capacity as sovereign and that, unlike those residences which she owned in a personal capacity - like Balmoral and Sandringham - ownership of Buckingham Palace passed automatically to King Charles upon the Queen’s death; she could not have left it to anyone else, even if she had wished to do so.
Occupied Royal Palaces such as Buckingham Palace are not the Private Property of the Queen. They are occupied by the Sovereign and held in Trust by Crown Estates for future generations the Queen owned two properties Sandringham and Balmoral Castle which are not publicly funded.
@@fredbear72ify I assume insomnia is to blame for your insistance on arguing semantics? Otherwise I would suggest finding something better to do. You guys seem in violent agreement.

This was a great look at Buckingham Palace. I especially liked the horological clock but it was all fascinating. I wonder why the royal family didn’t like to live there, and why Queen Elizabeth preferred Windsor Castle.
I found the information of the stamp quite interesting! I can only imagine how lucky you would be in finding one in an older building in the attic or something!
Who would want to live in THAT??? It would be like living in a grand hotel or museum. No thanks. My understanding is that the Queen and her husband actually lived in a fairly small apartment within the palace (or maybe that was in Windsor Castle). Either way - makes perfect sense to me to seek out human scale.
That's correct, they did occupy an apartment there, the main part of the palace was used for state occasions such as hosting visiting heads of states. The palace itself is owned by the state. King Charles and Camilla however reside at Clarence House.
I loved this video, it was very informative to me. The corgi history and the Queens' love of them has made me love her even more. I also enjoyed hearing about her purse collection
No. It is Buckingham Palace that is worth £5 billion. The Crown is worth a small fraction of that amount. The term "priceless" is simply meant to convey something of great value. The Crown has to have an actual estimated value for insurance purposes. I read that it is valued at around £5million.
I was expecting a tour, just walking around. This was not that, but more like a history lesson on a few items or collections. As a whole, very little was seen. I hope a tour of Versailles will be more like a walking tour, & not a commercial.
American, here. 🙋🏻♀️I have always been fascinated by the Royal Family and of course, the palaces. Specifically Buckingham Palace. I have what probably seems like a dopey question. I know that visitors can tour parts of the Palace but that obviously certain areas are off limits. What parts can one actually see/visit? Are the private residential areas more modernized? Are the Exclusive Guided Tours worth the £95.00 per person that they charge?
No, the Crown is not worth billions! The whole of Buckingam Palace is worth £5billion . But the Crown is estimated, for insurance purposes, to have a worth of around £5million.
@@davidlauder-qi5zv The Palace is valued at 5B, but then the items inside are not included...LOL However most of these items where prices are listed are just guesses, and until they go to market, it's unknown..
@@davidlauder-qi5zvBalmoral and Sandringham are personally owned by the family. Crow estate funds can't be used for their upkeep etc. The family has to pay out of pocket for them personally.
Re Queen Victoria Erard piano being worth ~$138,000: Brand new full size concert grand pianos cost more than that today (and consider that major rock/pop stars' guitars often break $1,000,000 at auction). Chances are that the Erard would fetch far, _far_ more than their estimate. We're talking millions.
It is amazing the amount of wealth that is concentrated in the hands of so few. This true not only for the royal family but for people in the U.S., too, and I presume for people in other countries as well. It is difficult for me to get my head around how some people are so incredibly wealthy whilst others, often in third world countries but in first world countries as well, live in such dire poverty.
But the vast bulk of the wealth seen in this video did not personally belong to the Queen. Buckingham Palace is not personally owned by the monarch. Neither are any of the other Royal palaces. They are owned by the State. So are the Crown Jewels, the Royal Art Collection, the Royal Coaches, etc. Did you seriously think they were owned by the Queen?
I know full well that Buckingham palace did not belong to the queen, and I am not "envious" I assure you. I would not want to live in such a place. I was making a sociological/political observation. If you choose to get a higher education some day, you will find that they expect you to be able to think critically. @@barbrice721

The King does not live in Buckingham Palace but in the privately owned Clarence House like the QUEEN mother and his parents when they were first married. As well as thevofficial rooms, the Palace has apartments for staff and offices for public servants. When I lived in London one of my coworkers lived in Buck House as her father was the Queen's gardener. Another lived there because her father was in charge of managing state banquets and royal events that were held for visiting heads of state and other digntaries.
None of these items, except the jewelry, are actually owned by the Monarch personally, but rather by the crown. Even the jewelry is kept by the family.
some items belong to the crown and some to the family. for instance, buckingham belongs to the crown, but sandringham is family property. prince albert purchased it for victoria. its always been a private home. same goes with some of the jewels and other priceless items.
It is not "Queen Elizabeth's" palace. It's the official residence of the head of state of the United Kingdom, and foreign guests (such as another president) are hosted there. Phrases are like make it seem like it's some sort of a special privilege of the monarchy. The monarchy is privileged but the Buckingham Palace is not a sign of it. Presidents also often have palaces, and all countries have official residences but they are essential in diplomacy.
Glad George V got the Faberge Egg to the UK. He and Nicholas were 5th cousins and many blame him for not offering sanctuary to the Romanovs when in fact he couldn't, and the British Government didn't offer. It could have meant civil war.
It's all stunning. Gorgeous. Magnificent. Home. It's the Legacy the Royals kept through the centuries. So it should be kept further. That golden piano is terrific. This Legacy influences people both positively and energetically. It's great that today's monarchs keep shining as that matters for people.
Buckingham Palace doesn't actually belong to the royal family. It is the property of the state. So is Windsor Castle. The royal family only owns Sandringham House and Balmoral Castle in Scotland.
Seeing the jewels worked into solid panels on the egg makes me think of Heaven's walls, which are reportedly made of gemstones. Maybe the egg's panels look a little bit similar to those! How beautiful they must be!
Breathtaking. To think, I regret leaving my life's work to the dust. I just lost my Schkiperpe Chihuahua, ththe most beautiful puppy in the world. Those miracles are more valuable than all of that art put together. I've lost the will to live.
Anyone with any ounce of education. Not only about history. But just in general. Knows the difference between the British Crown and The State. While acknowledging all of the property and assets in between.
I suppose the King winninh an auction reminded somrone of Rhett Butler winning the right to choose his partner to lead the Virgina Reel. Works for this Southern belle!
Why keep paying $5 billion for the palace . if it belongs to the state. Let the state take it. Invest iñ deàf, blind, children foundation, trauma-woman assault etc.

Love the queens corgis where are they now? Our favourite pet was Corgis um had had two in his life. The 1st Corgi name was our beautiful beloved peaches and out of all the dogs we had peaches was our best girl. My two youngest sisters grew up with her and she also had 10 beautiful corgi pups. Unfortunately our beloved girl passed away 1988 of old age our dad was so heart broken. We never had one. Of her pups we gave each family. Um I think 10years later mum an dad went to a Shelter for dogs to get another corgi that dad was looking in the weekend paper they brought him home an oh my gosh he was A splitting image of peaches his name was Bow he was soooo playful lovely adorable Corgi he followed dad everywhere even car rides but unfortunately he passed away too after Bow dad didn’t want another Corgi it was had for dad so dad got a cat white Persian his name was free we called him grumpy old man like dad 😄😄😄😄😄

It is not "Queen Elizabeth's" palace. It's the official residence of the head of state of the United Kingdom, and foreign guests (such as another president) are hosted there. Phrases are like make it seem like it's some sort of a special privilege of the monarchy. The monarchy is privileged but the Buckingham Palace is not a sign of it. Presidents also often have palaces, and all countries have official residences but they are essential in diplomacy.
Glad George V got the Faberge Egg to the UK. He and Nicholas were 5th cousins and many blame him for not offering sanctuary to the Romanovs when in fact he couldn't, and the British Government didn't offer. It could have meant civil war.
And looked like brothers

Im taken by all of it! I can’t seem to get enough of royal watching and learning.
She gave her life to her country. 😊
It's all stunning. Gorgeous. Magnificent. Home. It's the Legacy the Royals kept through the centuries. So it should be kept further. That golden piano is terrific. This Legacy influences people both positively and energetically. It's great that today's monarchs keep shining as that matters for people.
Buckingham Palace doesn’t belong to any Royalty , it is owned by the people of this country

That clock is simply extortionary!
I miss the queen what a grand lady
Buckingham Palace doesn't actually belong to the royal family. It is the property of the state. So is Windsor Castle. The royal family only owns Sandringham House and Balmoral Castle in Scotland.
The video is very educational, interesting and fun to watch. May God Bless Queen Elizabeth II.
A fantastic video. I am fascinated with the beautiful things many thanks…
I love the Fabregé egg, what's inside?
If you would of watched the video, you would know.
A diamond encrusted yolk.
Seeing the jewels worked into solid panels on the egg makes me think of Heaven's walls, which are reportedly made of gemstones. Maybe the egg's panels look a little bit similar to those! How beautiful they must be!
Breathtaking. To think, I regret leaving my life's work to the dust. I just lost my Schkiperpe Chihuahua, ththe most beautiful puppy in the world. Those miracles are more valuable than all of that art put together. I've lost the will to live.
A nauseating excess of name dropping, royal portraits, dogs, and conspicuous antiques.
It does not belong to the Queen. It belongs to the state
Good to know. Thank you. Appreciate it.
The time clocks were so amazing.
They were CLOCKS. How 'amazing' can a clock be?
Anyone with any ounce of education. Not only about history. But just in general. Knows the difference between the British Crown and The State. While acknowledging all of the property and assets in between.
I'd hate to have to clean that place. There's probably rats in there too.
Why keep referring to the palace and items as the queen’s? She has passed and it is now King Charles.’
Some essential transit point to the real luxury.
An elder was proud to buy the stamp of Victoria when she was young and to me it looked pink . Idk what happened to it after she passed away 😔
Obscene wealth when there are people starving with no shelter on the streets..
I wonder how many are junkies?
Yes it is owned by the state no one can sell it ❤
Enjoyed the 2second shot of the ball in gone with the wind😊
I suppose the King winninh an auction reminded somrone of Rhett Butler winning the right to choose his partner to lead the Virgina Reel. Works for this Southern belle!
Your photo of King George V is actually one of his father, Edward VII
The state crown and the Faberge egg with depiction of the Tsars children inside are both incredibly beautiful.
I have always wanted her precious pearl necklace or one like it! That necklace is beautiful!
Launer bags are made near me in Walsall uk
Why keep paying $5 billion for the palace . if it belongs to the state. Let the state take it. Invest iñ deàf, blind, children foundation, trauma-woman assault etc.
Shut it numb skull
I miss you Queen Elizabeth!
Rest in Peace to the Late Queen Elizabeth the Second April 21st, 1926- Thursday September 8th, 2022 age 96 Years old. The Queen would 98 Years old. 2 Years after her Passing at age 96.
Love the queens corgis where are they now?
Our favourite pet was Corgis um had had two in his life. The 1st Corgi name was our beautiful beloved peaches and out of all the dogs we had peaches was our best girl.
My two youngest sisters grew up with her and she also had 10 beautiful corgi pups.
Unfortunately our beloved girl passed away 1988 of old age our dad was so heart broken. We never had one. Of her pups we gave each family.
Um I think 10years later mum an dad went to a Shelter for dogs to get another corgi that dad was looking in the weekend paper they brought him home an oh my gosh he was A splitting image of peaches his name was Bow he was soooo playful lovely adorable Corgi he followed dad everywhere even car rides but unfortunately he passed away too after Bow dad didn’t want another Corgi it was had for dad so dad got a cat white Persian his name was free we called him grumpy old man like dad 😄😄😄😄😄
Where are they now? Dead, of course, of old age.
@@davidlauder-qi5zv no they not Fergi’s got the corgi’s
@@annmariekawana2939 No she didn't.
3 رحم الله الملكة البزت
@@davidlauder-qi5zv I thought they were buried alive with her, along with two footmen, to serve her for eternity.
The Corgis ofcourse and their dinner plates.
I once toured the Buckingham gardens, It was breathtakingly beautiful 😊
The Queen did not own it The Crown did. She has 2 private residences that were bought by Albert for Queen Victoria.
You can always tell when something is made by an American! She doesn’t own it the palace is owned by the state! She lived in a small apartment and hated it! She preferred living at Windsor castle
Soooo....INSIDE Buckingham Palace there are lots of tiaras, more chandeliers than can be counted, a gold piano, and a bunch of Corgi dogs.....and nothing else of note?
Stamps! Don't forget the stamps!!!
@@silva7493😂😂😂😂
Apparently not…
They also have an awesome kitchen.
Over 100 rooms for staff. There must also be a large room for florists. Can you imagine all the janitorial supplies?
I want this type of place in Every big city of world for my kingdom my queen kainaat ❤
The Corgis'are my favorite. Enjoyed the whole show!
Isn't it the fountain in front of palace, circular boundary figured placed as stand for an idea either/it
runs on whistles and stops by whispers😂
Love the queen
Beautifully presented video of royal life. Where or who cares for QE's beloved Corgi's in the present time?
They live with her second son, Prince Andrew
