How Royal Butlers Deliver Queen Elizabeth II’s Meals Inside Buckingham Palace
Royal butlers have to walk for a few minutes just to deliver Queen Elizabeth II’s meals inside Buckingham Palace.
On Monday, a clip about Point Cloud, a program that is being used to help design the changes at Buckingham Palace, was uploaded via the Royal Family website. The clip shows how huge the palace is and how many rooms royal butlers have to go through before getting to the Queen’s room.
It has also been revealed that many of the lifts inside the Buckingham Palace have been deemed to be impractical. A video of how the staff navigates from the kitchen to the palace’s Chinese Drawing Room for functions is also shown.
“The route will be more practical and efficient when new lifts are installed,” a palace statement noted.
The Buckingham Palace is currently undergoing an over $483 million renovation that will last for the next 10 years. This move has been described as essential and cost-effective. Some of the things that will be replaced include boilers, pipes, and electrical wires.
Last year, it was reported that Queen Elizabeth II will not move out of the Buckingham Palace while the renovation is ongoing.
In related news, Labors MP for Stockton North, Alex Cunningham, criticized the budget for the renovation.
“I have always respected the fact that we have a royal family, but I know they also have vast wealth and I don’t know what sort of contributions they will be making towards this project,” he told The Guardian.
Hannah Bardell, another SNP MP, said, “The irony is just today the Tory government was debating whether to cut the number of elected representatives in a cost-saving measure. While steps should be taken to maintain and restore such buildings, I’m sure many will find it hard to grasp the millions available to restore Buckingham Palace when Tory cuts are leaving the poorest in our society to suffer.”
