[00:01:04]>> Today, I'll be taking a look around the Royal Pavilion in Brighton. It's the most unique of England's Royal Palaces.

[00:01:10]The Royal Pavilion in Brighton is an extraordinary former Palace known for its exotic decor and rich history.

[00:01:16]Originally built for King George IV, this architectural gem stands out with its Indian inspired domes and minarets.

[00:01:23]Let's take a look around.

[00:01:24]>> It doesn't look like it belongs in England, does it?

[00:01:31]It's almost like Moscow or yeah, India.

[00:01:37]>> One of the first rooms you visit is the long gallery.

[00:01:39]>> Wait.

[00:01:40]>> See how the vibrant colors and intricate patterns create an almost musical atmosphere.

[00:01:53]>> Like Asian inspired inside. This is interesting.

[00:01:56]>> spared no expense in making his seaside retreat as extravagant as possible.

[00:02:00]Often drawing inspiration from Chinese and Indian designs, which were immensely popular in the early 19th century.

[00:02:12]>> Look at those windows.

[00:02:18]Chandeliers, oh my word.

[00:02:21]>> Now we enter the banqueting room, which is probably the most spectacular room in the pavilion.

[00:02:29]>> Wow.

[00:02:30]>> of the room is an enormous crystal chandelier, which weighs nearly a ton and is adorned with dragons and lotus leaves. It exemplifies the fusion of Chinese and Indian elements that George IV adored.

[00:02:46]>> This is wild. This was a really good suggestion. This is one of those things I I don't know about. Um the outside, the location, the inside, none of it seems to match, but it's incredibly gorgeous. I I like it.

[00:03:25]Incredible.

[00:03:27]It's everything.

[00:03:31]I love that table.

[00:03:40]>> Notice how it suddenly doesn't look quite so grand?

[00:03:43]That's because we're now in one of the corridors that would have been used by the palace's staff.

[00:03:50]>> I love that door.

[00:03:52]>> The great kitchen is a fascinating part of the pavilion, showcasing a blend of functionality and style.

[00:03:58]Unlike many royal kitchens of the time, it was designed to be both practical and aesthetically pleasing.

[00:04:03]>> Mhm, copper.

[00:04:05]Love it.

[00:04:08]>> The kitchen was equipped with the latest technology of the era, including a state-of-the-art roasting range.

[00:04:18]>> That's incredible.

[00:04:32]Uh pots and pans.

[00:04:40]Are those kegs?

[00:04:48]>> Now we're walking back along the other side of the banqueting room, en route to the music room and the rest of the palace.

[00:04:54]>> Look at the ceilings.

[00:04:59]This is stunning. Have you guys Have any of you guys been here before?

[00:05:26]>> Next we come to the saloon, an impressive reception room where the king would greet guests before accompanying them to the banqueting room.

[00:05:35]>> Wow.

[00:07:23]So there's storage above that it looked like.

[00:07:27]Transom windows over the door.

[00:07:37]>> We now arrive at the royal bedrooms where three royals stayed, including of course King George the fourth, as well as William IV and Queen Victoria.

[00:07:45]The bedrooms are furnished with rich textiles and ornate decorations reflecting George's opulent taste.

[00:08:07]>> The teal looks good with the gold.

[00:08:13]My grandma, this kind of reminds me a little little bit of similar to her style, at least in one of the bedrooms.

[00:08:20]that she had.

[00:08:24]Really like French provincial style.

[00:08:30]Yeah, it was this teal color. There was a lot of gold stuff in the room.

[00:08:45]Wow, I bet that's worth a fortune.

[00:08:58]So this is where the royals wanted to go. If they wanted to go to the shore, go to the beach, they went to Brighton, huh?

[00:10:14]>> Wow.

[00:10:31]I wonder why they didn't use bamboo.

[00:10:42]Look at that.

[00:10:44]I love those walls.

[00:10:50]>> This room has an exhibit about the history of the Royal Pavilion, including details about the restoration process behind the building that you can see in your visit.

[00:13:36]>> These rooms are where Queen Victoria stayed when in Brighton.

[00:13:39]Queen Victoria wasn't initially a fan of the Pavilion, but slowly warmed to it over time.

[00:13:44]But not enough to stop her from selling the palace to the town after her last visit in 1845.

[00:13:49]>> Really?

[00:13:50]>> Well, it is that she disliked Brighton and she was not amused by the constant attention she attracted whenever she visited.

[00:13:58]>> Really?
