King allows public to peek from royal balcony

When the public is invited in to see the view from the Buckingham Palace balcony for the first time next week, they will walk in the footsteps of the Royal family.
Perhaps unexpectedly, those footsteps will take them past hundreds of gold dragons from floor to ceiling, a Buddha statue that blows incense through its mouth and all the way up to arguably the most famous net curtains in the world.
Inside the Centre Room at the palace, opened up at the request of the King, a first cohort of visitors will be allowed to peer out at where crowds gather for jubilees, royal weddings and birthdays.
There is just one thing missing from a true royal outing: the television in the corner, watched by the King and his family on major national occasions so they can take in the full view down The Mall.
The television has been hidden away for the tour, but visitors will be able to see for themselves why it is needed: the Queen Victoria Memorial directly in front of the balcony blocks the view of crowds ahead.

Haven’t they got enough money without this gimmick

[@annehersey9895]

I think that they should let people on the balcony! A few at a time of course but WHO doesn’t want a chance to try their Royal Wave out on THE most famous balcony in the WORLD!!! They could have someone take a picture of everyone from below and sell it with proceeds going to upkeep! It’s mainly tourists and diehard Royalists who visit the palaces anyway so best to have them pay. When I go as a tourist, I know I’ll be paying extra for a lot of things so I build them into my budget!

Brexit has cost £100 Billion so far, we can't afford luxuries like a Monarchy anymore, money needs to go to covering the cost of the Brexit disaster.

We can afford to fund various wars, the rwanda 'deal' cost 40 million, now been scrapped, and we are still paying to have kings and queens in this day and age....!!!

Maybe Farage & Johnson be held accountable for that…

[@ianturpin9180]

There should be no place for royals in the 21st century. Nor the unelected House of Lords. One man one vote for the lower house. Proportional voting for the upper house . The proportional vote makes it difficult for one party to hold a majority in the upper house.therefore ensuring free and fair debate before laws are passed. No more governments forcing through legislation.

Who'd want to stand on the balcony?

[@dimitristripakis7364]

So the plebes get to the window? Now that's a King with a golden heart! How generous of him!
