Kensington Palace will be taken over by British designers in a bid to lure in the masses.

The palace is at the center of a transformation project designed to make the royal residence in London more accessible to the public!

… even though the designs of Vivienne Westwood, Stephen Jones, or William Tempest — who are all involved in the project — usually aren’t.
