Famous
faces in epic
places… In England, Italy and France!
It’s always fun to see where the rich and famous live… or lived, as in the case of many of the famous faces you may encounter during a trip to England, Italy or France. From the Queen of England and the Vatican’s Pope to long-ago artists, royalty, a brave lady soldier and celebrities from books, TV and films, the people you’ll “meet” in the places they loved speak volumes about lives very different from yours!
Queen Elizabeth still rules in London
Explore the Bloody Tower It’s been an armory, a treasury, a zoo, a Royal Mint, a castle fortress and a prison, hence its nickname as the “Bloody Tower.” Go inside the infamous tower, guarded by its resident ravens, to see the Queen’s priceless Crown Jewels, guarded by the Beefeaters you’ll meet during your family’s 4-day stay in London.

Of the 66 kings and queens who have ruled the United Kingdom from 827 AD to today, 90-year-old Queen Elizabeth is its longest reigning British monarch. She became queen in 1952, when her father King George VI passed away while she was on safari in Africa. She was officially crowned queen at her coronation the following year and the jewels she wore are safely guarded by those stoic-looking Beefeaters and ravens you’ll see at the Tower of London. She’s been living at Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle ever since (epic sites you’ll be able to see or visit during a trip to London). The Queen shares the spotlight in London with Harry Potter and Sherlock Holmes, both of whom come to life as you explore the streets and train station where they made literary history!
