"We’ve seen a lot of the exterior of Buckingham Palace, from Queen
Elizabeth’s addresses to various royal baby announcements, but
rarely do we get such an intimate look at its interiors. Designer
Ashley Hicks takes us inside the palace for a look at where we
get a tour of the truly sumptuous rooms (the White Drawing Room,
the Throne Room, the Picture Gallery) in Regency, Victorian, and
Edwardian styles that span the monarchs." —New York
Magazine
"Royal watchers, history buffs and interior design aficionados
alike will enjoy this look at the iconic home of Britain’s royal
family. Interior designer Ashley Hicks (a grandson of
Lord Mountbatten and brother of lifestyle
entrepreneur India Hicks, who was a bridesmaid at the wedding
of Prince Charles and Princess Diana) presents his own photographs
of the castle’s staterooms, hallways and galleries, and describes
the décor and the esteemed history of each. This lavish volume
underscores the magnificence of these spaces and provides a strong
measure of majesty for readers (especially those who, like me, are
anxiously waiting for Season 3 of The Crown to air)."
