Anyways, I'll stop waffling on now and let you get back to making quality videos................before I go, and if you've not done one already, it would be great if you would do a video of Culzean Castle in Ayrshire, Scotland. Thanks again :)

Once again, Margaret, you have created another wonderful, interesting and thought provoking tour, and so delightful to watch whilst listening to your soft spoken narration. Thanks ever so much, and as always, very well done indeed - brilliant in every way - top shelf :)

Covid put a stop to that and I haven't got back into my old routine as yet but your channel has given me my appetite back for city walking . Also I am getting great ideas for walks and discovering destinations I knew nothing about - like the garden restaurant at the Walkie-talkie building . A big thank you to you and your colleagues ✌️.

Imagine the audacity of a king and queen who make time out of their day to be spent with their children. Sets a dangerous precedence. It made me laugh at the absurdity of those who feel the need to comment on every aspect of lives they don't really know. And, Margaret, your reference to King George's bouts of illness only serve to illustrate his absence from duty and family. It was a pleasure to learn more about the man and King as health would permit. I love Kew Palace. When it becomes an air b&b I'll be over. Oh, and did you notice that glimpse of red outside Charlotte's bedroom. Hmmm? Another wonderful tour. And with only glimpses of the hot houses for plants this entire experience is added to my bucket list. Love the gardens and fountains. Cheers 🎉🎉🎉

Oooh 16:54 caught my eye, also... ;) I am glad you liked this one! It's not a 'heavy hitter' like the Tower or Hampton Court but I think the story of George and Charlotte is quite sad and sweet and I enjoyed making this one. Kew is definitely worth a visit and deserves a place on the list! And once it's an Air B&B we'll have the party to end them all!

Brilliant tour!

Amazing video, I have always wondered about the history of the Kew Palace after George iii. The Palace seems so much bigger than what we see in the video, I'm supposing not all is open to public and that all rest of the room's are in need of repairs just like the last few we saw, is this true? I'm an American but have always had a soft heart for George iii. Thank you for talking of a good man. I hope you can do a video like this on Frogmore House. Who if any lived in the house after Queen Charlotte and her family.

Because it is partly made using Dutch style architecture (even though that style of architecture was actually more prevalent in England than the Netherlands at the time!).
