Before your self-guided tour of the royal residence, you'll indulge in a traditional afternoon tea at the palace’s Orangery, complete with scones, sandwiches, and more in a delightful baroque setting. Then you're off to explore this historic palace at your own pace with an audio guide to imagine life as a young Queen Victoria in these grand surroundings.
