【跟着英剧练发音】The Queens Palaces E01-2

 As royal residences¹ go, Buckingham Palace is something of a newcomer. The staterooms are less than 200 years old. Yet its history is much older and more dramatic² than you might think. Its rooms are filled with objects that are clues to the character of Kings and Queens past. And the art and architecture combine to make a statement about Britain's place in the world.
