BBC “Strictly Come Dancing” Bosses Call Filming At Buckingham Palace “TV Dreamland”
The Queen has made Windsor Castle her primary resident after construction started at Buckingham Palace. The news was confirmed earlier this year that Buckingham Palace will be undergoing an upgrade that could on for more than a decade.

A source said: “Charles and Camilla are very much driving this and the BBC couldn’t quite believe what was being offered.

“Strictly at Buckingham Palace is just TV dreamland. It should be a wonderful spectacle.”
The quarter or semi-finals are being lined up for the momentous broadcast that is set to add to the bang of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee year.
Charles, 73, and Camilla, 74 – who is understood to be a Strictly superfan – could be dancing together to mark the special episode.
Insiders are also saying that the show is a perfect fit for the Palace’s grand ballroom – where 112 state banquets have been held in Her Majesty’s 70-year reign.
Another insider told The Sun: “The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall are, like millions of others, huge fans of Strictly Come Dancing – and so is the Queen.
“So there is a real desire and energy to make this happen. Holding the show at Buckingham Palace’s ballroom would be a wonderful treat as we celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee this year. A lot of work needs to be done to get it over the line.

“But there is a commitment and sense of goodwill to achieve what would be an unmissable occasion to cap a very special year for the Queen and the nation.
“Camilla and Charles would be delighted and honoured to host Strictly.”
The plans are so top-secret it is reported that the only people who know about it are a handful of aides and top BBC executives.
