This page needs a rename- and a significant expansion. I will attempt to sort this myself, if there are no objections. Badgerpatrol 03:01, 17 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Page rewritten

Latest comment: 17 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

As a result of several tags, incl. advertising and cleanup etc, I have rewritten the page about the history of the house itself, its residents and significant events, and have only mentioned the fact that the Royal Ballet School have use of the building. This follows the precedent of Pembroke Lodge, Richmond Park. As this is an encyclopædia article, it shouldn't include anything relating to the school itself on a page that purely relates to the building.

I have included an external link to the Royal Ballet School, as well as an internal link to the same. Peter symonds 20:18, 28 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

confusing White Lodge with Royal Lodge, Windsor

Latest comment: 12 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

After closely reading both articles, I think a significant portion of the White Lodge, Richmond article as dealing with the Duke and Duchess of York, actually belong in the Royal Lodge, Windsor article. Jeffrey Wyattville did not design White Lodge, but did design Royal Lodge, Windsor. And according to Sarah Bradford's biography of George VI, (pg. 115)they only lived at White Lodge, Richmond until late-1926, due to there not being space in the royal residences in London. They then acquired 145 Piccadilly in London. Some of Queen Mary's desires to have them live there as stated in the article is true according to Bradford, but they certainly were not in White Lodge after 1927, which by that time was gifted to Arthur Lee, also in Bradford's book, pgs. 115 or 116. Shawcross's offical biography of the Queen Mother also states on pg. 242 that before or after their return from their tour of Australia and New Zealand in 1927, they had moved out of White Lodge into 145 Piccadilly, and that they only moved to White Lodge on the insistence of King George and Queen Mary to begin with. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.69.127.200 (talk) 16:01, 10 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
