S01E04 Kensington Palace

2019-09-30

Kensington Palace, nestled within London's Hyde Park, serves as a cozy residence for contemporary royals. Originally built in the early 17th century as a Jacobean mansion, it transformed into a regal palace for King William III and Queen Mary II in 1689, thanks to the innovative designs of architect Sir Christopher Wren. The construction was cutting-edge, reflecting the pinnacle of elegance. Notably, two iconic figures in British royalty, Queen Victoria and Princess Diana, called this palace home. Currently, half of Kensington Palace operates as a museum, while the other half comprises private apartments for royal family members.
