9/19/2019. Palace of Holyroodhouse and Holyrood Abbey

Palace of Holyroodhouse and Holyrood Abbey is the official residence of Scotland’s monarch.  The public is allowed in when the Queen is away.  (www.royalcollection.org.uk/visit/palace-of-holyroodhouse  There is an Inner Court and an Abbey Church.  I believe the Queen comes for a week each summer.  She sends other family members as her representatives at times.  No pictures were allowed inside.  

I saw the Crown Jewels of Scotland, many apartments and a display for Harry and Megan’s wedding.  Her veil was exquisitely embroidered.
