Treated like Royalty!

Queen Mary's Dolls' House
The Queen Mary's Dolls' House was built in 1920s at the suggestion of Queen Mary, consort of George V, created to be use for fundraising purposes. Queen Mary herself had a certain fondness for miniature objects, which also explains for why the Dolls' House was constructed. The items in the doll house are exact replicas of the ones in Windsor Castle and they are created to the scale of 1:12. The house was made and put together by renowned craftsmen, artists and modelmakers. There are working light fittings, lift systems, and even the toilet flush works!!! There were books in the shelves that were written and bound in scale size! Amazing!

The Drawings Gallery
This was the place where i came face to face with the royal family! There were also drawings by the great master of art - leonardo da vinci. The precision of his drawings really makes you marvel in wonder!
Then there were portraits of the Queen and her family, the Queen when she was a little girl, in her youth, and as she is now! She is really charming.
There was this other picture that came to my notice. It was the picture where the leaders of the commonwealth leaders stood together with Queen Elizabeth seated in the middle and guess who i saw!!! Our Mentor Minister Lee Kwan Yew! another piece of home in the most unlikely place!

The State Apartments
This is where the King and Queen hosts important figures from the world. There were many rooms and by the time we finished walking through them, we were exhausted. each room was magnificently furnished and each had its own unique function. There were paintings by well known artists, silverware, clocks which chimed over 10 Handel pieces, countless items worth seeing and mentioning! For a moment, you get a glimpse of how life as a royalty is! The state apartments were refurbished and restored again in 1992 because of a great fire which started from the lantern room. I was highly interested in the room where the coated of arms of all the knights decorated the ceiling of the room. Some of the coat of arms were blanked out because the knight in question did something to disgrace himself and the white out plate served as a reminder to all the other knights. there were also busts of musicians like Handel who received royal patronage from the King during his time. It was a precarious job where you could lose everything - the sponsership by the royal family and his clients who flock to him knowing that he composes for the royal family, if the King who favours your music passes away. There is so much to be seen and said about the State Apartments! I really had a good time immersing in a small portion of the history of England.

Conclusion:
35 pounds in Windsor well spent!
