  • Today I did a full tour of inside Kensington Palace London, and it was amazing! This is a ticketed tour and takes you through the home of Queen Victoria and King George ii. You get to have a snoop around the rooms they once lived in and all the royal treats.
    Then I took a look at the new Kensington Palace exhibition ' Royal Style In The Making', showing Princess Diana's iconic wedding dress and more.
    Then lastly visited the sunken gardens to see the new Diana statue on display.

      Sad and pathetic how hateful the British people were towards Meghan. If you're dumb enough to believe everything you read, then I guess it makes sense. Shame on the UK and the British Press.

      I'm surprised they haven't burnt Diana's dress to whitewash history, as want everybody to forget that Charles ,made everybody think if he married Camilla then he would pass the crown on to William. They want people to think Diana was crazy, but any young girl would be devastated who was pregnant by 20, and realised her husband only bought their home as near his married mistress who he was seeing straight after their wedding.

    For me seeing Princess Diana's dress is so special, i loved her she married the same year that i did and i got
    up early to watch the wedding here in Canada, it was so special, i went on to have 2 boys around the same ages
    as her sons. Her death hit all of us very hard, it was such a tragedy. Thank you for this beautiful vlog.

    So good to see her dress again. I saw a traveling tour maybe 14 yrs ago in Houston that had her dress and other really fabulous dresses from her post Charles period. Photos of her wearing the dress next to it was so surreal! Upon seeing her dress, the ruffles & flounce at the neckline was so huge...almost engulfing her. No photos or filming at that time. So glad I got to see it again. Thank you!!

    I was in London one week after Charles and Diana's wedding and went to St James Palace to see the Royal wedding dress and gifts...an amazing, once in a lifetime, experience. The lines were running sometimes 8 hours but we got on line at 6am to make the 9am opening. I don't remember if it was free or a couple of pounds but it couldn't have been much as we were on a budget. Thanks for bringing us along with you!

    Hannah, I LOVED this! Even after all these years, I had never seen the lace and diamanté's(?) detailing on Diana's train. I can't believe it! It was so touching to see and remember how special that era was for those of us who remember. I wonder if the Cambridge family access these parts of the palace when everyone has left and make their own new memories and enjoy 'gossiping' about the family?! THANK YOU so much for sharing. Love from Australia.

I loved seeing Kensington Palace, the Wedding Dress and wow those gardens with the new statue. Just knowing Kensington Palace meant so much to Princess Dianna for a number or reasons it all seems so fitting. Thank you for taking time out of your life to film these places many of us don't get to see otherwise. Have a fabulous week!!!

    It amazed me that her wedding gown is so much more gorgeous close-up. The wedding video doesn't hold a candle to your film.
    It was so clever of you to get behind the statue in order to finally get close enough.
    Thank you, thank you forever!

    Thank you for taking us to Kensington Palace and the tour. I so miss it. I used to visit 5 times a year each trip from Canada. My friend was the Manager at the Former Orangerie Restaurant where the display was. I was so sad when they closed the restaurant and moved it to a Pavilion building. I spent many a visit on different displays at the Palace and love the Gift Shop and Cafe for a tea and scone each visit. I so enjoy just a visit even to just have tea and relax. So happy you took me there again, as still waiting for Canada to stop our quarantine of 14 days when we enter England. So nice to see everyone enjoying themselves. So nice to see people out and about enjoying the outdoors.

I’m thinking of getting an annual pass for the royal palaces, so that includes Hampton court, Kensington palace, the Tower of London and the banquet hall at Whitehall . It’s good value for money and you can usually get into all the exhibitions and food festivals with your pass.🥰😊😊

    Hi Hannah
    Wow absolutely stunning place to visit.
    Princess Diana was, and still is my favourite Royal. When she passed away myself and my husband went to Althorpe House to pay our respects to her. The wedding dress is georgeous still. Glad you went there and showed us all.
    A very true saying Hannah
    You can’t choose your family!!
    Not sure either about the statue but lovely tour
    Thankyou
    Love Kim x x
