“We’ve enjoyed welcoming visitors from all over the world to the Palace in record numbers this summer – it has been an incredibly busy few months and we’re delighted that it’s been such a huge success,” said a Royal Collection spokeswoman.
The Palace was opened for 73 days this summer and collected over £10million from over 600,000 visitors.
The doors of Buckingham Palace have been opened to the public since 1993, when the Queen goes on holiday to the Scottish Highlands every year.
