He is the one who told us about the cavalry parade, which not many people seemed to know about.

We did tour the palace, but photographs were not allowed, and even if they had been, every single heavy drape was drawn and the lighting was pretty dim, so it would have been impossible anyway. There was some impressive artwork, especially on the ceilings, in the palace, and some very grand rooms, but overall I just found it a bit oppressive as I crave sunshine coming in windows.
