Os CASTELOS e PALÁCIOS da Monarquia Britânica. Onde mora o REI da INGLATERRA

September 8, 2022, marked the death of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom at the age of 96, after an incredible 70-year reign, the longest in the country's history. But the throne never remains vacant, and her eldest son, Charles, assumed the crown as King Charles III. One of the monarchy's greatest charms is its plethora of castles and palaces, which attract millions of tourists every year and are an inherent part of the British culture and identity. In today's video, we'll discuss some of the UK's most important royal residences, including palaces and castles. It's important to note that some iconic buildings will not be featured in this video because they are not monarchical residences, such as the Palace of Westminster, which houses the famous Big Ben and serves as the seat of Parliament. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland causes a lot of confusion. The country is actually a union of four countries: England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, which is located on the island of Ireland, bordering the Republic of Ireland, which is another sovereign country. The other three—England, Scotland, and Wales—are located on the island of Great Britain. Closing this parenthesis, let's move on to castles and palaces. In today's video, we'll talk about the Tower of London, a medieval castle in central London; the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Scotland; Balmoral Castle, also in Scotland; Kensington Palace; Clarence House; Windsor Castle; and Buckingham Palace.
