Buckingham Palace East Wing Opens to Public

For the first time ever, the public will be able to tour the East Wing of Buckingham Palace, including the Centre Room that opens onto the iconic royal balcony. King Charles has been instrumental in this initiative, which has already seen all 6,000 tickets sell out rapidly. Visitors will not be allowed onto the balcony itself but can view it through the famous net curtains. Highlights of the tour include the newly restored glass chandelier, antique English and French furniture, and oriental-themed decor featuring items from George IV's Brighton Pavilion. The opening follows a five-year renovation project aimed at preserving the palace's historic features. This initiative reflects Charles's commitment to increasing public access to royal heritage.
