Walmer Castle in Kent, known for its historical significance and as a modest royal residence, has opened its private quarters to the public for the first time, starting from tomorrow for just a few months. These apartments, which have been frozen in time since the 1970s, include a three-bedroom flat with formica cupboards that the Queen Mother adored. ROBERT HARDMAN was among the first to get a look. The opening includes apartments that belonged to Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, Winston Churchill, and the Duke of Wellington. This event marks a unique opportunity as the historic office held by these figures remains vacant for a second year.
