There are a number of countries around the world still with constitutional monarchies. But for the fans of its system and history the United Kingdom is perhaps the big one. Australia, New Zealand and Canada, for example, are all constitutional monarchies but still have links with the United Kingdom.
So when you come to London, United Kingdom you have a wealth of places to see and discover with royal links and they’re not even all completely in the centre of London either. You have Windsor Castle, west of London and Kensington Palace, a little further west from Buckingham Palace.
So you want to come to London and see the home of English and later United Kingdom royalty. The City Unscripted Experience - Royal London with an Ex-Employee might be just what you’re looking for. I’m Brian and I worked within two royal palaces for 13 years. A wonderful time but it is a part of United Kingdom history that offers so much. And much of that, but certainly not all is in London itself.
Working as a warden or a guide within a royal palace gives you a lot of perks and you do fall in love with the history. During the 13 years of working for the United Kingdom royal family I spent a lot of time in London and a lot of time uncovering its royal history.
One of those principle moments was during the London Olympics in 2012 when I worked as a guide in Buckingham Palace. You did your job through the day and in the evening and your days off you had this world city to uncover. What you find in royal history is fascinating. Here are some examples.
