Royalty








It's safe to say that the buildings the royals lived in were beautifully constructed. Kensington Palace, where Princess Diana once lived, lies in Hyde Park which enhances the beauty even more. And if you ever want to feel like you're in a medieval era, take a trip to Windsor Castle because it is amazing. The traditional castle look, beautiful gardening on the inside, and the fact that royals still live there, just makes you feel small to be honest. Even the bloodiest place in London, the Tower of London, is awesome to see in person. The weather really fit the scene the day we visited the tower. The skies were gray, the rain started to pour, and it gave the castle that extra creepy feel to it. This is also where they keep the crown jewels which was hard to get a picture of without getting kicked out, but I did my best. The room was so dark and the only light there was was coming off these jewels. It was incredible to see how rich this one room was. There was more history in these different places than I could even begin to imagine. It made you start to think how things would be different in the states if we had a king or a queen. It's crazy to think about, but I suppose most of the people in the U.K. are doing well.
