The Prince and I

The Parliamentary and Scientific Committee is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year. And as nobody from our organization wanted/could attend the reception - I got the chance to go.
To Buckingham Palace.

And yes, it was amazing - as you would expect. Not surprisingly, the palace is absolutely stunning. Well, the bits we got to see anyway. The Duke of Edinburgh aka Prince Philip is an Honorary Member of the Committee and was hosting the reception and did a short welcome. He kept mentioning the 60th anniversary but nobody dared to correct him. He then made an effort to basically speak to everyone in the room: pretty impressive and exciting!

Unfortunately, we were not allowed to take photos inside the palace. The ladies' bathroom was a bit of a surprise: it has wooden Victorian toilets! (google it - I can't properly explain it)
