The public will get to see two new royal structures this summer: one in Buckingham Palace and another in Scotland.
Ever wanted to stand on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, waving to crowds of onlookers as the royals do? Well this summer, you'll get your closest shot — though no promises you'll see as big of a crowd as, say, an agitated Prince Louis.
And although visitors won't be able to stand on the balcony itself — where members of the Royal Family have for most big moments since 1851, including King Charles' 2023 coronation — they'll visit never-before-seen rooms on the Principal Floor, garnished by lavish art from the Royal Collection, and learn the history of the wing, which Queen Victoria and her family first occupied. The tour ends in the Centre Room, which leads onto the famous balcony.
The historic wing has been closed to the public since, but the decision to open it now comes after more than five years of"improvement works," completed by Buckingham Palace's Reservicing Program. The Trust says the work was an effort to update the building's infrastructure,"improve access and preserve it for future generations."
Visitors will be taken through several rooms to learn more about the building's origins,"how it has been loved by generations of the Royal Family" and how they use it today, the castle's website states.
