Ok this isn't exactly royal, but Hale from theinternetforum mentioned the show "Country House Rescue." There's a channel on youtube where experts help the British aristocrats save and keep their stately homes. Sorry mods if this is in the wrong place. http://www.youtube.com/show/countryhouserescueoh no! Viewers in the US can't view the vids. Oh well. I'm sure there are aristocratic homes to talk about! |

most of these homes aren't owned by the aristocracy, more a case of gentry in the best of cases, some even have relatively new owners, alwats nice to see the inside of someone's house though lol

I loved both Longleat and Chatsworth when we visited England. Also Knole. I was very sorry their garden was not open, as what I could see of it was superb/
