The White Drawing Room is one of the #19StateRooms visitors can explore this summer at Buckingham Palace. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the social life at court revolved around weekly drawing-rooms attended by both men and women in the presence of the monarch. The White Drawing Room at Buckingham Palace features a unique architectural detail — a concealed door hidden behind a cabinet and mirror to the left of the fireplace. This discreet entrance allows the monarch and other members of the Royal Family to move in and out of the state rooms seamlessly. Discover this fascinating piece of history with a visit to the State Rooms at Buckingham Palace this summer, open until 29 September 2024. https://bit.ly/3Ood926

Today is Garter Day. The Garter Day procession is one of the most colourful ceremonies held at Windsor Castle every year. The Order of the Garter was founded in 1348, the oldest and most prestigious order of chivalry in Britain. The King is Sovereign of the Order and several members of the Royal Family are also Knights, along with Knights or Ladies Companion who are chosen to join the Order due to their significant contribution to national life. Accompanied by a marching band, members of the Order take part in a procession from the State Apartments to St George’s Chapel, wearing the velvet robes of the Order, glistening insignia and ostrich-plumed hats that echo medieval costume. Visitors to Windsor Castle throughout the year can visit the Garter Throne Room in the State Apartments where the Garter Day ceremony is held on this day and new knights are welcomed into the Order of the Garter. Find out more details here about a visit to Windsor Castle. https://bit.ly/40Sjdrh
