Kew Palace Reopens Following Restoration Project

LONDON - APRIL 25: The rear gardens of Kew Palace are seen from a first floor window on April 25, 2006 in London. The recently refurbished former royal palace to King George III will open to the public on April 27, 2006. The 10 year restoration project costing GBP6.6 million restores the monarch's country retreat to the period when King George III and Queen Charlotte would have been in residence. In 1801 George III used Kew Palace as his sanitorium during one of his bouts of illness, said at the time to be 'madness', but now believed to have been porphyria.
