Chapter 181: Windsor Castle (61/100)
A country with a long history has its own unique style, and in the United Kingdom, castles are one of the features, what girl doesn't fantasize about being a princess living in a castle?
Contracting in the UK is ubiquitous, with a long history, a magnificent atmosphere, beautiful scenery and rich connotations. Behind the high walls lies a fascinating story that gives each castle a veil of mystery. Some cities in the UK developed from a castle, such as Windsor.
Located on a small hill on the south bank of the River Thames, about 40 kilometres from the outskirts of London, Windsor Castle is a majestic group of granite buildings that has been the residence of the English monarch since the 12th century.
In 1936, King Edward VIII proposed to Mrs. Simpson, an American commoner who had been divorced twice, and resolutely gave up the crown for love, demoted from the king of a country to the Duke of Windsor, and fled the British Isles.
And now, Nathan's helicopter is heading towards Windsor Castle.
The most noble palace of the British royal family is Buckingham Palace, which is the place to receive heads of state, so Nathan is very self-aware, if he goes to Buckingham Palace, where will the President of the United States go to live after that?
At the same time, since the Queen of ****** made Windsor Castle her main retreat after she ascended the throne as Queen of England. Prince Philip and their two children have always lived in Windsor Castle, and for the Prince, this is their home.
Buckingham Palace is formal, and Windsor Castle is more of a private clubhouse in comparison.
The Sea King helicopter landed on the tarmac in front of the castle, and when the plane came to a stop, the prince jumped down: "Brother Nathan, come with me, I'll take you to my room, where there is a large model of a Tomcat fighter, which I made myself." ”
"Andrew, don't mess around." At this moment, from the exit, some people slowly walked out, and the one leading the way was the current Queen of England.
Now she is an old man in her sixties, and from that difficult period of World War II, time has carved traces on her face, making her look more graceful and luxurious.
The temperament of the aristocracy is innate, although those nouveau riche are rich, the temperament cannot be cultivated, and when he sees this old man, Nathan is with respect.
However, in an instant, Nathan was even more delighted.
Next to Her Majesty, the girl who walked in was not Jenny?
Since they met in the orphanage, there has been no news of Jenny, who knows that now, it is the Windsor Castle that meets.
At this moment, Nathan's heart was extremely excited, so much so that his eyes were completely on Jenny, and he was rude in front of the queen.
Emily also came down.
"Wow, what a beautiful castle, only a princess is qualified to live in it."
Emily was first attracted to the castle, then saw Her Majesty and the others who came out, and then saw Jenny.
Jenny's gaze met Emily's, and in an instant, countless messages flashed.
Then, their eyes parted.
"It's a great honor to come to the castle for a banquet." Nathan said, "Your Majesty, I wish you eternal youth. ”
"Nathan, your name, has been chanted by Andrew all day." The queen said, "Now, when I heard that you were coming, I took it upon myself to hold a banquet in the castle, and at the same time, Jeanne happened to be in England, so I simply called her, you are a golden partner." ”
Jenny's identity is definitely not simple.
Now, there are many things that Nathan doesn't understand, such as Jenny's identity, which is a secret.
It seems that she is very ordinary, just a civilian in the navy, but she can have contacts with the top of the navy, and likes to volunteer in orphanages, and even has such a close relationship with the British royal family.
Seeing Jenny by the Queen's side, generous and calm, she definitely grew up in this environment since she was a child, what is her way of coming from?
"Yes, Mr. Nathan, it's a pleasure to see you, Emily, and I'll take you with me in a moment." Jenny walked over and spoke to Nathan first, with affection in her eyes, but she followed and pulled Emily's hand.
What is the relationship between the two?
Nathan didn't understand.
Fortunately, it had nothing to do with Nathan.
Nathan was already greeted by the prince and followed Her Majesty into the castle.
Windsor Castle covers an area of 7 hectares and is the largest still inhabited castle-style structure in the world. All buildings are made of stone, with a total of nearly a thousand rooms, surrounded by green lawns and dense forests.
The castle is divided into two parts: east and west. The "Upper Zone" to the east is the private residence of the royal family, including the king's and queen's dining room, studio, ballroom, audience hall, living room, Waterloo Hall, St. George's Hall, etc. It is famous for its collection of famous royal paintings and treasures.
To the west is the 'Lower End', the entrance to Windsor Castle from the Thames River, where the famous church is located.
Now, from the lower area of the entrance, all the way up, the dining room has been decorated with gold.
There are a lot of people inside, and the men are all wearing beautiful dresses, but by looking at the temperament, you can know which ones are soldiers and which ones are politicians.
"Ma Huali is simply our idol!" There were also some celebrities in the scene, and after seeing Nathan, they all called out his name in the movie, and there was no lack of affectionate eyes.
Nathan was a little uncomfortable with such an occasion.
Whether in his previous life or now, Nathan has never entered high society, this is the first time, so Nathan knows that he can't be rude.
Isn't it just holding a wine glass and looking for someone to toast everywhere? Especially now, Nathan just waits, and people are constantly coming up to toast Nathan.
"Nathan, your performance in the movie is really wonderful." A somewhat obese man walked over and raised his glass: "From the point of view of an actor, you are very good, from the point of view of naval aviation, do you think that the aircraft carrier, as a live target at sea, is there still a need for it to exist?" ”
When I heard this voice, the restaurant, which was still lively just now, suddenly fell silent.
The volume of the female guests chatting with each other was lowered, and almost all the male customers were looking at each other.
In an instant, Nathan understood, no, he was used as a gun again. Why do you always get involved in this kind of, and what good is it for yourself?
It's not a good deal!
