Queen Mary's State Apartments at Kensington Palace have received a huge update while closed to the public.
July 30, 2020 - 11:02 BST Bridie Wilkins Queen Mary bought Kensington Palace with King William for approximately £20,000 in 1689. At the time, the property was a modest Jacobean mansion, named Nottingham House, but the couple soon hired renowned architect Sir Christopher Wren to transform the home into the palace it is today. Fast-forward to 2020, and the Queen's State Apartments inside the house have had the first renovation works in hundreds of years.Loading the player...
Claudia Scott Williams, Curator at Historic Royal Palaces, told HELLO! that it's thanks to the coronavirus pandemic that they have been able to carry out the updates:"The Queen's State Apartments tell the story of Kensington Palace's origins as a royal residence during the reign of King William III and Queen Mary II at the end of the 17th century.
Now, the State Apartments, including bedrooms, the Queen's Gallery, the Queen's Closet, the Queen's Dining Room and the Queen's Drawing Room, have been transformed in a way that both maintains their heritage and refreshes the home."The 18th century panelling in the Queen's Gallery has been conserved," Claudia explained.
Besides the Queen and her State Apartments, Kensington Palace has been home to more royals than we can keep count of, including the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge who currently reside at Apartment 1A, and Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank who live at Ivy Cottage.
