Visitors to Buckingham Palace in London this summer will get to stand behind the famous balcony that the British royal family often poses on.
For the first time, the palace is opening the building’s East Wing, which includes the Centre Room where the iconic balcony is located.“This room was part of the edition of the East Wing, made by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. And it was Prince Albert who suggested the balcony,” said Nicola Turner Inman, curator of Decorative Arts at Royal Collection Trust.
