The room behind Buckingham Palace's famous balcony opens to the public for the first time next week, giving a rare glimpse into one of the royal residence's inner sanctums.
For decades the royal family has been seen emerging from the room after coronations, weddings and other landmark occasions.
From the appearance of World War II leader Winston Churchill alongside the royal family in 1945 to the wedding of King Charles III and Princess Diana in 1981, the balcony and the room behind it has repeatedly played witness to history.
But despite endless images of the balcony, the room itself has always been kept under wraps.
Charles most recently appeared on it following his birthday parade last month along with his daughter-in-law Catherine, Princess of Wales.
