Today we explore the last post of Former royal residences. The previous posts can be found here: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4.
Perhaps something that could be explored would be the contrast of palace styles according to country. I’m watching Reign at the moment, and I’m surprised to find quite a difference with styles of palaces in France, England, and Scotland. I know it’s a tv series. I realize much of it is not accurate. But some of it is – I’ve fact-checked that! What I see is the palace in France is grey cut stone, even inside, the Palace in England is white and bright, and the palace in Scotland seems like darker stone.
