Our next stop was to visit the Royal ladies at Kensington Palace. That is the women's quarters of the Royal family. Built in 1689, the house is still lived in. Princess Diana's residence was here too. Of the wings that are accessible to public, they have separated it into three parts - Victoria's quarters, King's chamber and Queen's chamber.

| Victoria and Albert |
I loved Victoria's quarters very much. Her early days in the nursery, meeting Albert, those were very nice. She was one of those very few monarchs who had a happy marriage. It is a pleasure to see her write about how happy Albert had made her. I admire Albert a lot too. It is not easy on a man to have an Empress as a wife but he still maintained his stand in the family very well. We probably liked this more because just before the trip, we watched a movie on Victoria and Albert.

The King's and Queen's chambers were extremely spooky though! I very much believe that the "whispers" they were simulating turn out to be real at night. The "librarian" and "courtiers" were fun though. I think they were playing cards together because the King was not there in the palace!
