    At the beginning you mention the animals at the entrance and begin with the crowned lion. It was like the opening of a big Hollywood film the way you focus upward with the palace looming behind. I thought, "this is going to be something" and, of course, it was. Another wonderful tour, Margaret. And another "medieval" fire extinguisher. I burst out laughing again. Your humour shines through. The amount of information that you share with such ease is as enticing as when I read biographies of this era by Alison Weir and others. That unknown man in red is intriguing. Very dramatic portrait. Another successful tour. This is why i subscribed after seeing the first video. See you on the next go-round. Cheers. 🥂🎉

    The palace was used in the vanity fair movie with reese Witherspoon. I happened to visit a few days before filming & they had signs up saying as much. It's part of reason I wanted to watch it. It's a good film & can clearly tell scenes were filmed at the palace.

  • @jenfree2241
    @jenfree2241 Před 2 lety +4

    Wonderfully informative and makes me want to learn more! Regarding the painting of the man in red at 36 minutes-ish, I think he bears some resemblance to other paintings of Edward VI. He died at 15 in 1553, so perhaps painted when he was a child, and some licence was taken by the artist, imagining him as older? Of course if it was painted in the early 1530s this couldnt apply.

    Thank you for this, although I visited Hampton Court with my school sixty years ago it's never to late for a refresher. The town where I was born and lived for many years also has a Palace with moat, it is called Eltham Palace and is I believe almost six hundred years old. It was mainly used as a hunting lodge for the Tudor Kings and Queens of England, it always makes me smile when I walk past this Palace, it sits between the most expensive road for property in the area and a large council estate. Thanks again for this informative and very enjoyable video.

      Thank you so much! I worked hard to get the volume balance right so I'm really pleased it was noticed!

    Another great video this time from Hampton court palace. A lovely building and rooms.

    I like the Yeoman flanking the fireplace. They give an odd sci-fi/fantasy vibe like something out of The Adventures of Baron Munchausen or Alice in Wonderland.

    I haven’t been to Hampton Court for over 25 years yet I live not 30 minutes away. I guess it’s typical when a World famous place is literally on your doorstep you just take it for granted. Thanks for your very informative video.

    Fantastic tour. My sister lived only a couple of miles away for many years. I think my family only got there once. I wish we had been more often.
