Secrets of Buckingham Palace

Buckingham Palace was not always the luxurious residence it is today. When Queen Victoria first moved in, the palace was dirty and cold, and the staff were lax and lazy. In 1838, a 14-year-old boy nicknamed "The Boy Jones" stole Queen Victoria's underwear and lived in Buckingham Palace's chimneys for a year. In 1982, a man named Michael Fagan broke into Buckingham Palace, managed to find his way into Queen Elizabeth II’s bedroom while she was sleeping, and even asked for cigarettes, which a maid bought him, before finally being arrested.
