I just cant wait to be King 🎶🤴

I’ve always felt that I’d make a pretty good royal swanning about in a palace. Having visited few palaces in my days and watched a lot of period drama’s I think I’d enjoy it. Touring the royal palace in Madrid today brought back memories of Versailles, Windsor Castle, Buckingham Palace and Sweden’s Palace. I’m not looking for a man in finance, I’d be looking for a hot prince with a castle and a palace to inherit.

I just did a self guided tour and as I passed each tour group I hovered to listen in the see if they were getting any interesting tidbits (they weren’t, but I’m getting better at subtly listening in to tours for free). As I wandered the palace I felt like ‘I just can’t wait to be king’ from the Lion King was subconsciously bopping away in my head.

The highlights for the palace for me was the building itself (love a good stone palace), the amazing dining room (Hyacinth Bucket would approve), the entry stairway and the Queens hot pink dress for the coronation of the new king in 2014. The chandeliers in each room really caught my attention too - what a way to literally light up a room - amazing!

It wasn’t too busy and I got enough info about each room from the placards to get by without a guide at a much speedier pace. After an hour wandering the open rooms I left another palace waiting for my turn to take to the throne.Read more
