Buckingham Palace has undergone so many changes Over the years as tailored hats, Queen Elizabeth II has her majesty. Starting as the beautiful Buckingham House that was built in 1703 for the first Duke of Buckingham and Normanby, the palace has been remodeling, rebuilt, expanded, enlarged and resurfaced, resulting in the great urban palace that dazzles visitors with cameras today. There are even more changes, as the renewal progresses, which began in 2018, With a cost, as reported, about 500 million dollars. As indicated in the summary report of the reservation program of the Buckingham Palace From 2016, since «electrical wiring, plumbing and palace heating have not been updated since the 1950s, after World War II, the building infrastructure now needs an urgent review to avoid the very real danger of a catastrophic failure that causes a fire or a flood.» In other words, in a way, Windsor are like any of us: their house has maintenance problems. The dust of the works is expected to be based when completing in 2027.
The interiors of the Buckingham Palace have been equally changing, since the successive monarchs and their spouses have put their individual seal in the place. Since Queen Elizabeth II, who now celebrates her Platinum Jubilee, and her late husband, Prince Felipe, Duke of Edinburgh, began to live there in 1953, after the death of her father, Jorge VI, large and small changes have been seenalthough not as dramatic as the architecture and decoration schemes of Queen Victoria, her son, Eduardo VII, and her grandson, Jorge V. Eduardo VII favored the Victorian Germanic. His successor adored the Francophilic schemes of fresh white paint, shining gold sheet and richly colored fabrics, much of which he remains and was wonderfully photographed by designer Ashley Hicks for his 2018 Rizzoli book of 2018 Buckingham Palace: The Interiors. He also photographed Many rooms that have survived since the days of Queen Victoria but that are not available to the public.
How to clarify the page web of the Royal Collection Trust, Jorge V ordered the architect Sir Ashton Webb that will install a new and elegant main facade of Portland stone in the palace In 1913, since the previous one, by Edward Blore, dating from 1850, had been criticized for having a too European appearance and, in any case, being made of fall stone that crumbled in the London climate of coal smoke. His consort, Queen Maria, created many spaces of the palace with the help of White Allom & Co, an important establishment of London decoration founded in 1905. He also retouched the decoration of his late father -in -law, in the style of the Ritz hotel, which returned the taste of the regency that reflected the era gloriously chic From Jorge IV.
