PalaceDay

🎉¡Feliz @Palace_Day desde el Palacio Real de Madrid! Así ha sido nuestro día celebrando un año más el #PalaceDay 👇 Cada 19 de julio, nos unimos a nuestros compañeros de European Royal Palaces para rendir homenaje al extraordinario patrimonio que guardan los 🏰 de toda Europa.

Thank you! What a #PalaceDay! We thank you for the stories and posts you have shared and the enthusiasm this year’s Palace Day brought out! Women’s stories, big or small, are worthy of sharing. Let us know which theme you would like to explore next year!

“There’s nothing to annoy or constrain me here, I can live like in a village, and I can walk or ride out on my own!" wrote Empress Elisabeth of Austria to her mother, describing the Palace of Gödöllő in Hungary. #heritage #herstory #art

Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg, Queen of Spain. Before the royal family’s exile from Spain she had reorganised the Spanish Red Cross and the Anti-Tuberculosis League, and founded a School for Nurses and the League against Cancer. @PatrimNacional #palaceday #herstory

On Christmas Eve 1859, Charlotte of Belgium moved into @museomiramare with her husband Maximilian of Habsburg where they spent the next four years in harmony. Her husband’s subsequent execution in Mexico was kept secret from her to protect her worsening mental state. #palaceday

While Queen Maria I enjoyed Queluz’s tranquillity, her daughter-in-law Carlota Joaquina had a fiery spirit! She once threw a piece of fish at a maid! A queen with real temperament to stir up #palaceday 😅 bit.ly/45aBC6z ©PSML and PSML/José M. Silva

We continue #palaceday with Queen Maria I, the first queen to reign in her own right. She loved Queluz! 😍Letters to her daughter, which survive today, show just how many happy moments she spent there. bit.ly/45aBC6z ©PSML/José Marques Silva

Cette statue est offerte au comte de Chambord. Elle commémore l’acte courageux d’Elisabeth de France durant la Révolution française. La 20 juin 1792, elle tente en vain de faire passer pour Marie-Antoinette en affirmant : « La reine, c’est moi ! ». #PalaceDay

Queen Victoria slumbers and dreams of reuniting with her late husband Prince Albert. This simple yet striking composition was created by the couple’s daughter Princess Louise, Duchess Of Argyll, an artist in her own right. @RCT #palaceday #herstory #heritage

Légende - Le roi François Ier aurait gravé sur la fenêtre de sa chambre à Chambord le distique « Souvent femme varie, bien fol qui s’y fie ». Les représentations du XIXe siècle montrent souvent le roi et sa sœur Marguerite observant la gravure. #PalaceDay

#PalaceDay On 14 May 1770, Marie-Antoinette, Archduchess of Austria, and her husband, the Dauphin, the future Louis XVI, met for the first time at the Château de Compiègne. Arriving from Vienna, the young woman, then aged 15, was welcomed by King Louis XV. @Palace_Day

A quaint, yellow palace in the midst of a sprawling green landscape. This retreat was built by Leopold III, Duke of Anhalt-Dessau, for his wife Princess Louise of Brandenburg-Schwedt; hence the name Luisium. #heritage #herstory #art #patrimoine #palaceday

The first queen on our royal journey is a legendary figure. Queen Isabel of Aragon, known as the Holy Queen, married King Dinis and brought faith, generosity and (very likely) the Holy Spirit cult to Sintra! Find out more: bit.ly/45aBC6z ©PSML/L.Duarte and PSML
