Thanks for the links. There are other great photos on the English Heritage website of Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle and Sandringham if anyone is interested.

Has anyone else noticed the different detail over the doors and cornice line between the QV era photos and the QEII era photos of the Queen's Private Sitting Room? Any insight as to why this may have been done. I rather prefer the QV era detail as the QEII looks to me as though it has been added.

Nikola, is the photo of the Queen's Private Sitting Room the room with the large curved bay?

Pavlov, do you recall what issue of Architectural Digest the Palace was in recently? I'd like to see the photos.
Thanks.
Thanks.

I am able to access the virtual tours through Nikolas link, but not sure how to get there through the website...

On a separate note, does anyone know what room is used for the presentation of gifts during a Sate Visit?

Where was the one photo of the Queen taken in the photo above - she is sitting in a chair in the center of a long corridor - green walls?

The Throne Room at Buckingham Palace was indeed painted white at one time. As early as 1937 during the coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth (the current Queen's parents) the walls were definitely white as well as during the time of Queen Elizabeth II's wedding. I am not sure when the silk was re-installed after these events, but I do know from photos that it was changed again sometime between Prince Charles and Diana's wedding and Prince Andrew and Fergies wedding.
You can google any of these events and see photos of the Throne Room.

Can someone tell me why the Queen always has her handbag on her arm in just about every picture taken of her. I am a huge supporter of her and the Royal Family, but sometimes it almost seems inappropriate, especially when she is in her home. I can appreciate her wanting to have it around in case there is a need for her to get something out of it, but... The latest photo on the Monarchy website shows her and the German Chancellor meeting in the Audience Room, you would think she could have put it down before photos were taken. Any thoughts?

I agree. Considering the number of homes available to the Royals, I'm surprised they built this. It really isn't much to look at.

Sorry, Windsor still isn't up for grabs, but enjoy the Palace.
