Buckingham Palace is a building with a deep hold on the public imagination. Not only is it the seat of the British monarchy and headquarters of royal affairs of state. But also, thanks to its famous balcony, it's become the national focus for great moments of commemoration and celebration. But what is now the site of a splendid palace was once open countryside. And behind the familiar facade lies a building with a strange and surprising history. Shaped by successive monarchs who all had very different ideas of what it should be.在伦敦的中心地带坐落着一幢全英国最显眼的建筑,但是它的故事仍为大部分人所不知。白金汉宫是一幢深深植根于公众想象力的建筑,不仅仅因为它是英国君主的住地和皇家事务的总领,更是由于这个有名的阳台,让纪念和庆典仪式的伟大时刻成为全国的焦点。这幢华丽的宫殿原来是一片广阔的农村,在熟悉的表象之下是这幢建筑物曲折离奇的历史。每个继位的君主对白金汉宫都有不同的想法
