I have been in Osborne House a few times.......my last point and shoot camera was quite small but I got spotted trying to take a picture of the Royal bathroom.......I was made to feel like a five year old......I almost went and sat on the naughty step.
Yet we went to Plas Newydd on Anglesey and we were allowed to take pictures as long as we did not activate the flash......there were attendants dotted about the place, but nothing like the numbers in Osborne House - where there were two or three to a room.

methinks it is more to protect their "copyright" than the effects of flash, which to my knowledge most if not all modern flash have UV filtering glass and its UV light that does the damage, (although a study has shown that it only does the same as a musuems electric light sources)
just another way of creaming us of some more of our hard earned, bet f i wanted to do a private photo session and was willing to make "a substantial" contribution, that would be ok'd by the curator
