The State Rooms of Buckingham Palace have now opened to the public for the summer 2015 season. An annual occurrence, the opening is an excellent opportunity to tour one of the world’s few royal palaces that is still in use as a royal residence while experiencing the grandeur and learning about the living history of Britain’s most famous home.
The State Rooms are the public rooms of the Palace, designed for monarchs to receive, reward and entertain subjects and visiting dignitaries. Today the State Rooms continue to be used by The Queen and members of the Royal Family to receive and entertain guests on State, ceremonial and official occasions.
