Imagine being surrounded by such ART and beauty your whole life? Does one just walk by and not notice anymore? I could sit in the white withdrawing room for a year and still see something new everyday.

Absolutely brilliant series, thanks Hicksie, love your work...

I love that buckingham palace is furnished like a bad yard sale . Every piece of furniture was from or meant for some other palace

Such craftsmanship, beauty and history. Love that you give brief backgrounds of some of the smaller objet.

Thank you for this video which not only gives us a glimpse of this magnificent palace. But also tells the story of it.
How fortunate we all are that there was a time when humans with a talent did the very best they could. What strikes me the most is the inlay work on the wood floors.
This palace is not only a National treasure of England, but also one of the great treasures of the world.
To have a week to just wander in it... Oh !

The book arrived this morning. Highly recommended.

Dear Mr. Hicks, Thank you so much for these postings. I absolutely love it. It's what people who would love to go but can't get there would want to see. All the history behind the rooms, paintings and furniture is amazing.
I will be getting your book as soon as I can. I hope you will do more videos on Windsor Castle and/or stately homes in the UK.
Thank you again from the US

Interesting photographic eye for asymmetrical compositions. The colors, lighting and clarity of the images are awesome.

So much knowledge you have. How on earth do you remember it all? Can’t wait to share this series with my mother

[TheRedart]

Your attention to detail and your images are as if we are there in person. Well done!! I am excited to purchase your book. Thank you!

Absolutely fascinating! Had the pleasure of seeing a few of the State Rooms Summer 2012 while visiting from Canada. Just a mere smidgeon of the Entire Palace, but my goodness the Staircase and what appears to be a vast Sea of rooms in each direction you look! NOTHING even close to this in Canada. Hope to return one day again, I know the Palace is undergoing immense infrastructure updates. I do hope King Chas or Willam & Kate will continue to use it to its' full use.

I wonder what the chances are of being able to film videos like these of Windsor Castle? I'd LOVE nothing more than to be able to have a complete full tour of every square inch of that magnificent fortress! Gives me butterflies to think of it!

I enjoyed a visit of the State Rooms at Buckingham Palace, the Gardens & Royal Mews in 2017 & thoroughly enjoyed all three. What a wonderful resource & reminder your videos are. Thank you so much.😊 Fascinating to learn such detailed history of the rooms & the contents, who created them & for whom.

Thank you so much for this. A little peek into where I should live, and not in my little house in New Jersey :)hehe
