Buckingham Palace uncovers 1800s artifacts
During renovations at Buckingham Palace, workers uncovered a trove of historic everyday items dating back to the 1800s, including clothing, betting slips, a newspaper about the Great Train Robbery, and a schedule of Queen Elizabeth II's 1977 diplomatic reception. The refurbishment, expected to last ten years and funded by an increase in the Sovereign Grant, involves replacing aging infrastructure to prevent fire and water damage. The palace's residents will remain in alternative accommodations until the project’s completion, which aims to increase public access and event hosting capacity.
