Inside Buckingham Palace: Tyler West and Ellie Simmonds on Meeting the Royals | Lorraine

and well I have come up to the state rooms well this is known as the white drawing room have a we look at that chandelier there isn't it gigantic it's the biggest chandelier in the palace apparently it gets lowered by remote control and so that they obviously can give it a clean we wouldn't want Dale boy up there Would we that would be a we disaster this room though also hides a fantastic secret if I walk over here you can see it looks like it's a beautiful mirror isn't it it's absolutely gorgeous but there's some something very special about this huge mirror and the cabinet as well and because if you put your hand under here you can pull it out I'm not going to pull it right out it's actually a hidden doorway and the doorway leads to the Royal Family's private apartments in there and the king of course can use it to enter leave the room discreetly whenever he so Wish isn't that great now if you're lucky enough to come to an event at the palace well it's rooms like this where you would be hosted and then the reception would continue just out here this is the picture gallery and as you can see it is filled with Priceless works of art and at typical Palace reception there would be about 300 guests in here filling up this beautiful beautiful room today there's two of our team Tyler and Ellie are here it's so good to see you isn't this Porsche I know it is it is proper now you too you were at an event with the King what just a couple of weeks ago yeah yeah it's like our second home isn't it walk put my slippers on it's like that no we've been very fortunate to be here a couple of times before yeah yeah exact and you when you met the king it was very special wasn't it it was that photo of you but you know what the first time it came around was a few years ago and actually when I met him i' like it's almost like when you go to shake someone's hand but I I just forgot where I was for a second and went to Spud him like a fist bump right SP but I was said he was going to Cabbage me so there was a bit of an awkward interaction and then I was like right I need to teach you how to f bu now now that's when it's developed to where we are now we we've got like a six piece handshake at the he's like yo Ty I remember he was that I remember that's amazing know it's so good and you were what 14 yeah 14 was was when my first time I came here and I got my MBE by by the queen so yeah it was wonderful experience and to bring my grandma as well oh you brought your with you that's lovely she loves the queen so for me to bring her along we were just yeah I was quite nervous though to meet her yeah really nerv nervous he couldn't mess up more than me and I think he would like that the king would really like that because you were just treating him like you would treat anybody we was talking about jerk chicken it puts the market he's got this amazing ability to just keep a conversation going from person to person I know he's got strong chat strong like he was talking to me when we came last for the prince's trust about me racing a dog and like swimming with a dog and I thought that isn't that just wonderful you know like has such nice like chat just like like normal chat is it must be really hard you know because everybody you know every you all sort of don't quite know what would you put yourself when you members of the royal family and they are so good at putting you at ease because it is a you know it's nerve-racking being in these kind of situations it's just human beings you know human beings and when you have that chat it just brings everything down to earth and we're like oh actually you can relax now yeah I mean oh and listen what's these clocks keep going off I don't know what time it is oh wow this is lovely it's like a tune isn't it like a little sort of early morning wakeup call I like that of all the memories that you've had of this what what's really kind of impressed you do you know what you've been to the toilet yet
