Argus Reader Holidays can take you to some of Britain's outstanding royal palaces, where you can take a privileged peek behind the scenes .

INTEREST in the Royal Family is at an all-time high, with more opportunities than ever before now available to take a look 'behind the Royal scenes'. Newmarket - the Reader Holiday Company who are celebrating their '21st' this year - are offering a whole range of coach-inclusive breaks with a Royal theme for you to enjoy!

Join us as we step across some of the country's most sumptuous thresholds this year.

Choose between three wonderful London breaks, each giving a unique insight into Royal lives, lifestyles and surroundings. In August or September take a break including the chance to view the State Apartments at Buckingham Palace, and the opportunity to stroll in the Queen's garden, bathed in all its late summer glory. Or choose our October departures, featuring the chance to view inside Clarence House, recently renovated and now the London residence of HRH The Prince of Wales. In March, October or November there's also the opportunity to enjoy the gorgeous display of some of 'Diana's Dresses', part of the Ceremonial Dress Collection on display at Kensington Palace, former home to both the Princess of Wales and Princess Margaret.

These wonderful breaks, which all feature return coach travel, a night's accommodation as well as ample time to take in the sights, sounds and shops of the capital, are priced between just £75 and £89.50, depending on which you choose and your departure date.

Away from the capital, join us in high summer at the Queen's favourite retreat of Sandringham, one of the most delightful of all Royal residences. Or, in early autumn, visit two of Britain's best-loved stately homes on our hugely popular weekend featuring Althorp - home of the Spencer Family and resting-place of Diana, Princess of Wales - and famous Woburn Abbey. These breaks are £89 and £89.95 respectively.

Whichever break you choose from our 'Royal Collection', you can expect comfortable travel arrangements, a good standard of hotel, and the services of a friendly tour manager - and the assurance of travelling with one of the UK's leading specialist tour operators, with over two decades' experience of success behind them.
