Wow thanks very much Le Roi Soleil .
This is the first time that I can see any plans of the Balmoral castle.

It's will be very nice to see more floor plans of the Balmoral castle.

And please, does any of you have some plans of the Palace of Holyroodhouse?

I will be very happy if someone will only post the plans of the palace State rooms.

Thanks

The two sisters: Princess Victoria and Princess Maud in their boudoirs, look at all the their stuff! The probably learned how to styl thier rooms from their mother Queen Alexandra. Wink!

That room is pretty overwhelming for anyone lest the maids who dusts them!!

Thanks for posting the interiors of the Fort. Always wonder what is like inside...

In the first photo Royal Netherlands posted, it looks like she would have some difficulty getting to that desk by having to squeeze between a table and a chair. And especially in her long skirt!

The skirts those days are made of quite flowing materials. It was the 40's !

Hi Royal Netherlands,

Thank you for so generously posting all those pictures for us in the past few weeks.  Marvellous!!!

Last August, when touring through Peterhof with a cruise group and going through all the gold and statuary there, the woman in front of me turned around and said, "Who cleans all this!!??"....
But, Peterhof wasn't nearly as cluttered as Victoria's and Maud's rooms.  Pity the poor maid!  One wonders if the servants rejoiced at getting a job in the Royal Household, only to bemoan all that dusting...  Be careful what you wish for!!!

40's?  These photos look like they were taken in about the 1890's to me. 

[Eric_Lowe]

I don't think so.

[Emperor of the Dominions]

I don't think so.

The pictures of Princessess Victoria and Maud are circa 1890. The photographs of the interior of Fort Belvedere are from the 1950's.
