Two years ago in Venice, I met a gal from the UK on a pub crawl. We seemed to hit it off and I have seen her a couple of times when I have been back in the UK. Yesterday, she came to London to meet me for the day from Stratford where she lives. We went to Kensington Palace, something I have never done before in spite of being to London so many times. The visit to the palace was very interesting but what made it even more special was that there was an exhibit of the costumes from the movie, The Favourite. As it was set in the 18th century, the costumes on display were similar to the ones I had seen in Venice last week. It seemed like quite a coincidence. The docent we chatted with gave us a lot of background into the life of Queen Anne and how many of the
events that took place in the movie actually happened in Kensington Palace.
So, here are the photos I took of the display and, if you have seen the movie, you may recognize them.
Also, here are some other photos of the interior of the palace, a view from it (too bad it was a dreary cloudy day in London), and one of the three tiaras that were on display.
Hi Maureen...wondering where you are now. Your last post (this one about the costumes from the movie Favourite) was a week ago. I do hope you are still having fun with friends...and that your silence doesn't indicate something else.
