St James's Palace

Behind-the-scenes tales of St James's Palace, which was built between 1531 and 1536 on the orders of Henry VIII and is the business centre of the royal family. There is a look at the history of Fabergé eggs, of which the Royal Collection contains three, and Kate Williams explores more gruesome stories of palace history, including the horrific story of what happened to Catherine Parr's body, and how giving birth in a palace became a spectator sport.
