Best kept secret
A certain queen would probably argue that Buckden was once the worst place to live – Katherine of Aragon was imprisoned in Buckden Towers after her divorce from Henry VIII. Other royals had happier memories, with everyone from Henry III to James I having been entertained in the palace.
