This is Windsor Castle. We had a great time but no royals in sight. We were surprised how much of the castle is open to the public to view. There were thirteen state rooms such as the King's Drawing room, Kings' Bedchamber, Queen's Ballroom etc. Each one was beautiful and in very good shape. They say Buckingham Palace is in a terrible need of repair on the inside but they are fighting over who should pay for it. Queen vs. England? I guess with this being one of the Queen's residents she foots the bill. We also went in to St. George's Chapel where many of the royals are buried including the Queen Mum and King George VI. It is a beautiful chapel that was built in the 1400. The castle it's self was started in 1066 by William the Conqueror. This is Queen Mary's doll house. It was never a child's doll house but given as a gift. It was suppose to be a replica of aristocrat's London home of the time. Every thing works. The water runs, wine bottle have wine in them. Even the little miniature hoover vacuum works! It is built on 1/12 scale.
