The Royal Experience: Touring Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace

The British believed that royalty was a factor that made them a worldwide phenomenon and force that could not be reckoned with. Well, even if the world didn’t agree with all of it, it’s a losing argument to not align the British with Royalty, even today. Their heads were always held high with pride and some remnants from those ruling eras of the British are still preserved. These buildings, lanes, artifacts, and stories still reflect the honor and dignity that they held in the olden days and how beautifully so.
