| [00:06.160] | Buckingham Palace is the monarch's principal state residence. |
| [00:12.682] | And at its heart is a proclamation of royal authority. |
| [00:24.287] | If you had to pick just one room |
| [00:26.599] | which encapsulates what Buckingham Palace represents, |
| [00:29.559] | it's this one. |
| [00:30.973] | The Throne Room. |
| [00:32.703] | And you're in no doubt where the seat of power lies. |
| [00:35.416] | The two chairs on a raised dais, |
| [00:37.362] | one for Queen Elizabeth the Second, |
| [00:38.978] | one for her consort, Prince Philip. |
| [00:41.284] | And you might pick |
| [00:42.731] | that the Queen has sat on that seat many times during her reign |
| [00:46.136] | and received dozens of heads of state here. |
| [00:49.549] | But you'd be wrong. |
| [00:50.513] | This room is purely symbolic, |
| [00:52.844] | and she's only sat on that chair the once, |
| [00:54.289] | at her coronation in 1953. |
