With Prince William and Kate Middleton only just ending a holiday in Mustique, and the Queen tucked away at Balmoral Castle, the reality is that it’s really rather quiet on the royal scene.

English Heritage has released a list of amusing gaffes made by visitors to some of the United Kingdom’s most famous tourist attractions.




While a guide at Whitby Abbey was left startled by the question 'is this Dracula’s Castle?', we can only imagine what the experts at the Isle of Wight home of Queen Victoria said when confronted with somebody who thought they were visiting the estate of one of Sarah, Duchess of York’s colourful confidantes.

Suffice to say Queen Victoria would not have been amused had she overheard a guide being asked: "Is this where Sharon and Ozzy actually live?"
