Ahh... a castle fit for my queen!! The royal apartments are shown in the background here ... while we couldn't go into the private residences, we did see the royal state rooms and Queen Mary's Doll House, which both Glammy and I found very interesting! The doll house was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens in 1924. Nearly every item in the house was specially commissioned on a scale of twelve to one. The mechanical and engineering equipment is made to work, including the water system, the electric lights and the two lifts! Sadly, we could not take any photos of the doll house, but check this site out for more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Mary's_Dolls'_House
