Queen Mary’s Dolls’ House is an amazing dolls’ house built on a scale of 1 to 12. It contains working lifts, running water and electricity, and took 1,500 craftsmen three years to complete. Queen Mary was known as a collector of miniature objects including Fabergé[7] animals, children’s silver furniture and other examples of “tiny craft”. Princess Marie Louise was the King’s cousin. After returning home from a visit to the King and Queen at Windsor Castle, during which they had shown her much kindness, she announced to her family that she would commission a dolls’ house as a present for the Queen.

温莎城堡是世界上最古老、面积最大的尚在使用的城堡,也是英国女王的官邸。在近一千年的历史中,世袭的君主们一直都居住于此,并对温莎城堡不断进行改造和翻新。有些君主进行了大刀阔斧的改造,加固城堡以抵御暴动和叛乱;而另一些生活在较为和平时期的君主则创造出了一座宏伟壮丽的皇室宫殿。
威廉一世(征服者)选择了一处撒克逊人狩猎场的边缘(来建造温莎城堡),高高地位于泰晤士河之上。温莎城堡距离伦敦塔只有一天的行程,目的是为了守护伦敦的西大门。现在温莎城堡的外墙与11世纪70年代威廉一世(征服者)建造的原始城堡的外墙位置是一样的。
