Buckingham Palace is not a very attractive building compared to so many great houses that were demolished over the years. It looks very institutional in a way.

The regiment shown is the 33rd Regiment of Foot (1st Yorkshire West Riding Regiment), red facings, with the officers having silver lace and epaulettes. They are wearing the Waterloo Shako or Belgic Cap, but this headwear was not given this name until after the Battle of Waterloo, fought on Sunday 18th June 1815. Prior to this date, it was known as the 'Bang Up Cap' simply because it was bang up to date - strange but true. (Introduced towards the end of December 1811 and replaced with the 'bell top' shako in August 1815, it was also known as the 1812 shako as it started to be distributed early in 1812.) The drummers' all-red uniforms are interesting as I have seen at least one illustration showing them in white tunics with red facings and patterned lace. The 33rd fought at Quatre Bras (16th June 1815) and then at Waterloo. On the 18th June 1853, it was granted the title 'The Duke of Wellington's Regiment' as the Duke of Wellington (then Sir Arthur Wellesley) had once served in it. 🥁🇬🇧💂♂️

I found out recently that I’m a direct descendant of the Strickland family 😳 Funny thing is we went past the castle 2 years ago on our way to Scotland but didn’t know the connection. I must pop in the next time we go north. On a foot note Catherine Parr 6th wife of King Henry VIII is related to the Strickland family but I’m sure you know that!

Interestingly, and to save cost in the construction of the new National Gallery in Trafalgar Square, the bases and capitals of the columns at the front of Carlton House were reused for the porticos at the east and west entrances the columns themselves having deteriorated where they were stored in St James's Park). Therefore, we have a hint of what greeted visitors from 1815 there.
@Regency_History Ай бұрын
Yes, that's the story we've heard. So much of the house, inside and out, was reused elsewhere.
@CM73878 Ай бұрын
@ And of course part of the reason for the relocation were construction problems found in the property which made it more expedient to dismantle and use the proceeds from the sale of the land now forming Carlton House Terrace and the United Service Club (now known as the home of the Institute of Directors) and the Athenaeum Club to fund his ambitious scheme for renovating Buckingham House. Of course, the facade of what is now Buckingham Palace would be unrecognisable to George IV as it was only added in 1913. All fascinating stuff.

My grandmother was a Leyte (Spelling changed when they left Lyte Cary and spread across Newfoundland and North America, now pronounced "leet" instead of "light" also. Henry would be my 7th great-uncle I learned recently. I descended through his brother Thomas. I am fortunate enough to live in the same property that the Lyte's first lived on when they relocated to Newfoundland - more specifically Fogo Island - in the mid 1800's. The descendants of the Lyte's and Henry specifically have gone on and thrived here, being the prominent family in several communities and towns in the province. They were keen and avid fish traders and harvesters when they arrived, and the current generations still continue their practices today. Thanks so much for sharing! I'm going to have to come from Canada to see it someday. 😊

Interesting how we don't usually learn much too much about history of other countries, unless we take a special interest and do our own research, watch some video, read books. Being that my father immigrated from England in the 50's (his name was Knowles) and I was interested in history, I probably was more proficient in English history than the average. We watched a lot of English programs, like series from the BBC on Masterpiece Theatre every Sunday night. I really enjoyed the Sharpe series by Bernard Cornwall, which introduced me to the Peninsular War, which of course is the Regency era... never heard of that war. So I read more. The older book you mentioned in one of your first videos, the diary of a French soldier, sounded interesting. Of course Waterloo & the Battle of Trafalgar I had heard of and knew some information about them. Perhaps countries don't remember wars that they lost? Not much prestige in calming down colonists I suppose! I am interested in the English perspective of the celebration of the Semiquincentennial. I remember in the series Poldark, the series began with him returning to Cornwall from fighting in the Americas.
