Thanks Chris.Do you happen to know where I could see those pics?
They used to be somewhere on the forum, probably even earlier this thread - I imagine they are still there (try using the search option at the top of your screen and search for floor plans in the Windsor threads), or just click backward on the threads to view earlier pages.
On the other subject - the private rooms at BP and Windsor - I concur with Traditionalist..... although at BP I believe there are a few additional rooms in the north wing considered part of the private apartments In addition to the Queen's Dining Room, Sitting Room, Bedroom and Dressing Room. There are a few (3-4) smaller rooms at the very northwest corner of the palace (I believe the Sheraton Room is the name of one of them) that we rarely ever hear or see pictures about. Not sure what those rooms are used for on a daily basis.
Windsor seems to give the royal couple much more privacy - which is probably one reason they prefer it so much. I've always thought the private areas of BP were inadequate because of the "Private" corridors that run along them. They seem far from private. For some odd reason the Prime Minister's weekly route to the Queen's Audience Chamber is up the King's Staircase and down that private corridor past the doors to the Queen's bedroom, sitting room, dining room, etc. Why he doesn't instead enter via the Grand Entrance and go up the Minister's Staircase to reach the audience room is beyond me. Perhaps it's one of those archaic "special rights" afforded to the prime minister long ago that the court doesn't wish to dispense with? If I were King and had to live at BP, I'd have blocked off both ends of that corridor long ago and granted access only to family and personal staff. Everyone else could jolly well go around the south (household) corridor, or travel from east to west on a lower floor.
