Another day, another palace. Oh the life of a princess! A girl can dream, right? Charlottenburg Palace or Schloss Charlottenburg is the largest and most important remaining Hohenzollern residence in Berlin. The palace and its garden were originally built as a summer residence for the Prussian Queen, Sophie Charlotte (who happens to share the same name with my sister. Teensy weensy proud moment. LOL), and were expanded by subsequent generations of the royal family. As a result, the palace has quite the combination of interesting architectural styles. Frederick the Great, the same King who had the the Neues Palais and Sanssouci Palace built, was responsible for the beautiful rococo style of the New Wing so I was really hoping to see that. Unfortunately, the New Wing was closed for renovations so I was only able to visit the Old Palace. It’s still as grand as ever though, with its baroque style rooms and and royal apartments filled with realistic paintings that look almost 3D, intricate stucco decorations and vast number of mirrors. Out of all the rooms, I have to give a special mention to the famous Porcelain Chamber. It took my breath away!!! The entire room was adorned with Chinese and Japanese porcelain, from floor to ceiling! I couldn’t stop staring at them. You must check out my photos below. Visiting all these palaces makes me wonder how life was like before. They certainly knew grandeur better than any of us ever will.

Super! And so grand!
I just love your 6th to the last photo ate Cams. :) so feminine and sweet vibe lang. :) super excited sa opening ng H & M here. :)
A lot of people are super excited! :) Thanks Maebs!
I love your hair colour! As well as your dress floating in the wind! It’s so cute! :) The palace is so grandeur! Your photos were really breathtaking and the place is so awesome!
Thank you Maica!
I wonder if your sister ask for a photo while she’s twirling like a princess. It’s her palace anyways. Hehe.
She doesn’t twirl though haha but she did pose for photos :)
I absolutely love your “breezy” skirt shots!

Thanks Cath!
Jaw Dropped* The porcelain room is unbelievably incredible! Like, I never knew it was possible to have too many porcelain decors in a room. Plus, the interior of the palace is very much like a modern royalty. Plus, I love the wind effect in your skirt. Made you look like a modern princess too!
Thank you Katrin! :)
Hi Queen C! haha <3 Fabulous!
Thanks Jill!
Pahabol comment: muntik na akong magmura when I saw the Porcelain chamber. lol… It’s like transporting yourself from Germany to Asia. Ang gandaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Was this room made before the world wars? Coz if it were, wow I’m so happy the rooms were intact and hindi ninakawan ng mga looters.
Well, marami ding na-damage but thankfully, they were able to save and restore them :)
It’s just so amazing to think na magkaanak ang mga German and Brtish royalty. If I’m not mistaken, Queen Victoria’s husband, Prince Albert was German (Kinilig ako sa love story nila when I saw the movie The Young Victoria).
I’d love to imagine what it would feel like when you’re born as a princess. I’m really loving the pictures! I feel like I’m also going on a tour with you. I love how informative your posts are kasi I never expected Germany to be this beautiful. These structures will really make you feel like a character in a fairytale. Parang iba ang charm nya when compared with the other royal palaces. I don’t know how to explain it (I’m literally making hand gestures as I’m writing this) Lol…
Oh I’ll search for that! :) Haha! I understand what you mean by making hand gestures and all that. Germany really is a gem. People are always raving about France and Italy but Germany is noteworthy too! :)
thank you very much for the marvellous pictures from Berli, my favorite city; and your stylish city-outfits, too! Best wishes from Germany, Stella
Thank you Stella!
Oh wow, the place looks all fancy; gold and details everywhere whereas you yourself look like a aristocratic lady from another country visiting the place in order to wed the highborn owner.

hello Ms. Camille :)
i saw your latest dslr and it’s really expensive,that’s why all your photos look awesome and clear,is it required for a blogger to have a very high quality camera?i saw your old photos on your blog,and its not that clear compare to your latest pictures,maybe that’s why you invest for a high specs cam Ms. Cams :)
Oh, no naman. My old photos were posted in smaller sizes kasi. But they’re actually clear naman. It’s just that when I revamped my site and made my photos bigger, the old ones got enlarged. As a result, they seem to be in bad quality :) But you really don’t have to invest in a super expensive one. Of course, the quality of the photos are better but you can still get pretty photos by using cheaper ones. There are a lot of good cameras that are more affordable.
beautiful place
I love your dress, she is very beautiful
Thanks Anne Marie! :)
Your photos are amazing. Absolutely magazine worthy. I love your blog.

Thank you Kyle!
Hey Queen Camille! Oh yes I’m dreaming with you! Everything looks so regal. Wow. All that porcelain on the walls remind me of my mom back when my sister and I were still kids… “Wag takbo ng takbo sa sala. Mababasag yung mga vase!” LOL. I love what you did with your cardigan there. I now have a pretty neat idea on what to do with all of my dad’s oversized shirts. YES! :)

Oh Camille! I miss you! Your blog site is a stress reliever. I would definitely visit your blog everyday just like the old times. ^_^
I love your maxi dress.
Kisses!

Thanks Honey!
That place is so grandeur! I really love how their gardens look ❤️ I am inlove with your dress ate cams!!!! Do you think that I can pull it off too? I’m 5 foot flat tho :( or maybe I can wear heels? I really want to wear maxi dresses but i haven’t tried since i think it wont fit me :(
Heels would help :) Maxi dresses are okay naman just stick to the ones with narrow skirts :)
