I was honored to walk the corridors of Windsor Castle this past July, and had to pinch myself to remind me that I was able to see the restored section that was tragically burned many years ago. How fortunate it was that many people worked together to salvage as much as they could. There is a marker in the spot where the fire started...it's a very emotional reminder to say the least.

Superb documentary that makes me Proud to be English - The fact that the Royals themselves paid for this means no nasty comments about the cost! - More than this though it was the sheer dedication and inspiration of all those involved that makes me so proud - I love the fact that in Britain we still have such amazing people who still have the 'old' crafts - Most have been a 'dying' art - however this also showed younger people what importance these crafts have and many have gone to learn from the 'Masters' of these trades .... therefore ensuring that the crafts and disciplines do not die out -

@@pjmbidge632000 The Royal Family did pay for the restoration from their own pockets. They used multiple sources to fund the restoration. Everything from sending some of the items salvaged from the fire. On a world wide tour to opening up Buckingham Palace for tours. They also used funds generated from income from their personal properties. As for complaining about the tax payers funding the Royal Family. They bring on average into the UK annually. 5 times the amount of money in the way of tourism alone (Appart from 2020, when everywhere shut down because of Covid.) than is actually spent on them. People don't visit the UK for the food, it's wine or high fashion. & the certainly do Not visit the UK for its weather! They visit it for its History & the Pomp & Splendour.

Much credit to the public and military for saving 99% of the interior furnishings, art, and artifacts. The loss of such would have doubled the restoration costs. A rug alone would have been well over a hundred thousand pounds. The massive rugs are all made by hand from the finest silk and wool. Just one of my rugs, made for my library, took over a year to make at a cost of thirty eight thousand pounds. And it is not nearly as large as those in Windsor. The loss of irreplaceable art and artifacts would have been far more devastating than the structural damage. As would have been the case of losing the one of a kind, antique, and historical furnishings. The restoration and newly redesigned work done in the traditional manner is simply superb. Every last detailer was crafted with the utmost pride and respect. Such craftsmanship is slowly disappearing in todays world of tear it down and rebuild new the quickest and cheapest way possible. Plastics and foiled foam is used in place of proper wood or plaster adornments, mouldings, and trim. If such a fire was to happen in 30 or 40 years from now, there may not be any master craftsman to restore the castle properly. All pieces will be printed and glued into place. We are on the cusp of losing craftsmanship of this kind to technology, cheaper methods, and inferior replacements. This is not to say technology and plastic does not have it's usefulness. Ineed they do help improve in certain areas where needed. However, our homes and business must be healthy environments. Too many chemicals and voc are creating generations of sick and cancer ridden people. Even family pets are seeing a rise in cancer and other diseases associated with toxins in their living spaces. We must reduce the amount of synthetics in our living spaces. Ok, ok, back to the castle. Bravo to all who saved, restored, and renewed this mighty symbol of English history and heritage. Cheers!

@@handsoffmycactus2958 Sharing my experience to provide an idea of the costs to replace one of the many handmade rugs is not being "a show off". I simply shared the figure for one rug. Had I shared the value of my properties and their contents, vehicles, works of art, yacht, jewelry, investments, etc., etc.,.... I would be no better than the nouveau riche disgracing themselves in front of the paparazzi, drooling at the prospect of making page six or trending online. Worse yet, no better than Trump. A sad pathetic excuse of a man.the. So, yes, you are gloriously correct. Nobody likes a show off. Unless, of course, you are just as envious as the others consuming the smut feed to the insatiable public by the tabloids. The tabloids would not be a multibillion pound industry without the public and those selling themselves in order to keep the frenzy alive. Show offs do play a vital role in consumerism and the economy. We are all guilty of showing off in one way or another. From the shoes we wear to the largest giga yacht, being assembled as I type this, is all part of the same show off game. How one shows off is what defines them. This is the primary reason why most who come from the old wealth do not mix with the newly wealthy. They lack class, dignity, and compassion with their garish displays without regard for those with little to nothing to their name. Its disgusting. Many of the world's wealthiest families do not attract attention to themselves for this reason. Many of the new wealthy make a huge display of the charitable giving. A grotesque way to show off. That said, it doesn't matter to the recipients of those much needed funds. As you get dressed remember you're unconsciously showing off with the clothes on your person: your ewelry and/or watch. The vehicle one owns is a status symbol. We show off our status by buying the best we can afford. To a point there is nothing wrong with this. We all strive to do the best we can in this one and only life. Doing so while helping others is what allows one to enjoy the fruits of their labor all the more. Cheers!

No it wasn't, which made me very angry! The (Conservative) Government insisted they didn't have the money despite paying no insurance premiums on Government buildings. They forced Buckingham Palace to open to the public and the charges to go to fund the £36.5 million restoration cost. This was a bargain price considering what was involved and the work will last several centuries. Eight years later the (Labour) Government spent £789 million (21 times the cost) on the Millennium Dome as it was Tony Blair's pet project. There were several financial bail outs as it generated little income i.e. few visitors, to what was just a large plastic tent. We have warped priorities in this country.

I give such credit to the British people, you so love your monarchy. To have sooo much, and look how fast and cost is given to deal with a setback like this. All for a private home too, sad part is once her Majesty dies(God forbid) Charles gets it all! Then the monarchy doesn’t look so good after all. Yikes, King Charles III, bla God Bless England then. State dinners will consist of root vegetables start to finish, even the pudding will be some be veggie from his farm of course. Such richness and decadence in veggie.

Kaidosbuddyagain Doberman The castle does not belong to the Royal Family. The building and it's contents belong to the British State. I'd advise you to read up on the Prince of Wales, the real man, not the nonsense you read on crap gossip sites. Prince Charles will be a good king. The public has access to all of the state apartments - what are you suggesting - that the Royal Family's private rooms should be open too? Are you free to traipse all over the White House. The monarchy is financed by revenue raised by The Crown Estate NOT from general taxation. You post that the fact that you can't blunder through every room would make you heave - well your attitude just makes me bloody angry - who the hell do you think you are? You simply do not understand British understatement if you imagine Prince Charles is 'arrogant.' He is in actual fact, a very modest man.

Gordon Smith here here, you are absolutely correct sir that guy is number one talking quite out of turn when he doesn’t know all the true information and number 2 is quite unreasonable to suggest we go traipsing through Her Majesty’s private rooms which is quite shocking for anyone to even hint at much less blurt it out as he did. I do however disagree with you on one point and that is on Prince Charles because I feel he should not be able to rule he is married to a divorcée and the mistress that was the root cause of all the problems in the breakup of his marriage to The Late Princess Of Wales, his great Uncle The Duke Of Windsor had to abdicate for similar reasons and I truly believe he should not be given special treatment and allowed to ascend the throne and he should be forced to pass the crown to Their Royal Highnesses The Duke And Duchess Of Cambridge just as his great Uncle had to pass the crown to Her Majesty’s late father King George. But that is only my thoughts and opinion I respect yours though yours differ a slight bit!

Tiffany Sanchez Thanks Tiffany. The United Kingdom has gone through a huge social revolution in the eighty odd years since King Edward VIII abdicated to marry Wallis Simpson. The marriages of three of the Queen's own children have ended in divorce, something that would have been unthinkable before WW2. There is nothing in the law of accession that prevents the Prince of Wales from being our next king. The abdication of King Edward VIII wasn't 'cut and dried' there was a faction in the government and in parliament that supported him in his wish to marry Mrs Simpson AND for him to remain King*, he didn't HAVE to go, but a majority in Parliament wanted him out. (*A group calling themselves: The King's Men - included Winston Churchill)

I am not astonished or amazed at what happened to Windsor Castle fire. For the residents or citizens DO NOT RESONATE with Windsor Castle. The castle would have been a great piece of art if it were out in the middle of an ocean. The people of great Britain treated the fire like a crematorium and a cemetery.

Are you deaf? ALL government owned buildings are self insured. Which means OUT OF POCKET. All the expenses had to be covered without insurance.
