Alice and the Palace

I'm a little bit of a Royalist- blame my mother. Luckily, I have a partner in crime by the name of Alice. In fact I think she's even more obsessed than me.

After watching the movie The Young Victoria (over and over and oveeeeeer again), we beelined for Kensington Palace; the place where she, among many other members of the Royal Family have lived (and where some still do!).




Saying we were excited would be an understatement.

We wandered through each room, stood where Victoria and Albert first met, and danced our way through the halls.


At the moment they are showing the Fashion Rules exhibition, where you can see some of the Royal Family's most famous dresses from the fabulously fashion forward gowns of Princess Margaret to the iconic puffy sleeved dresses of Princess Di. 


After you've tired youself out pop down to the cafe for some tea and scones with clotted cream and jam.

 

You know, just incase going to a palace isn't Londony enough.
