It is a really weird thing about visiting Hampton Court Palace. It is one the most beautiful and impressive castles we have seen. So much history...500 years ago, King Henry VIII and his 6 wives and children lived in these walls. The gardens are spacious, colorful and extremely well kept.
But on the other hand......A great deal of sad times for woman. Two of his wives were beheaded, two divorced (lucky them) one died and one was left still standing when he died.....(sheer luck again). Deb and I both agree that we would have been in the Tower of London waiting for the 'axe to fall' because we would be hard pressed to not 'share our feelings' if we felt wronged, which I am sure wouldn't be wise.
For all that, it is still a 'must see' if you are in London.
