S1E1:Palaces and the Public

22 Sep 200529 minTV-G

The royal palaces that are open to the public receive no funds from the Royal Family or the British government. Any money required for the building is paid for by the public, visiting the palaces and handing over their entrance fee. More visitors through the door means more income, but also more wear and tear on the architecture. A conservator investigates a large crack in a Hampton Court balcony.
