GOING FOR GOLD Inside the Queen’s ornate wooden living room which stretches across two floors – plus 8 other VERY lavish royal homes
GOLD leaf wallpaper, marble statues and mirrors that double up as secret entrances - lounges used by the royals are certainly not your typical living rooms.
When they aren’t gracing swanky red carpet events, the royals are unwinding in these rarely-seen lounges behind closed palace doors...
The Queen's saloon at Sandringham House
When the Queen is spending time in Norfolk at Sandringham, her favourite place to relax in the evenings is in the saloon.
The jaw-dropping room spans an impressive two floors, and comes complete with a piano, wooden columns and paintings.
The large sofa is where the Queen and her family can let their hair down when they celebrate Christmas together.
The Queen's sitting room at Windsor Castle
The Queen and Prince Philip are currently self-isolating at Windsor Castle, where she typically spends her weekends during the year.
Royal fans have been given a sneak peek inside her sitting room as this is where she holds her weekly audiences with Boris Johnson on the phone.
The room has a cosy feel, which is perfect for when the Queen requires an informal meeting space rather than her grand state rooms.
Kate and William’s lounge at Kensington Palace
We were given a rare glimpse inside Kate and Prince William's family home when they opened the doors to the Obamas back in 2016.
The parents-of-three spent months renovating Apartment 1A at Kensington Palace before moving in - knocking through walls to bring the room count down from 30 to 20.
The royal residence, in west London, has been tastefully decorated with cream carpets and floral cushions.
Lamps and candles, as well as Prince George's adorable rocking chair, give their living room a homely vibe, while gold-framed paintings remind us this is no ordinary home.
The Queen's living room at Buckingham Palace
When the Queen is holding smaller, informal meetings, she may retire to The White Drawing Room at Buckingham Palace.
While the room has a predominantly white colour scheme, there are plenty of gold touches, such as with the mirrors and furnishings.
The best part of the room is a mirror and cabinet that double up as a secret entrance for the Queen to use.
