[00:00.427]But years later, one king had different ideas for the park.
[00:08.867]James I didn't cut the finest of figures,
[00:12.336]yet he was fond of the finest of clothes,
[00:14.674]especially the best silk.
[00:18.315]Always short of cash,
[00:19.386]James realised that silk,
[00:20.690]a great luxury of the day,
[00:23.217]might be an excellent way to make some serious money.
[00:27.335]On the land that is now the gardens of Buckingham Palace,
[00:30.575]James decided to create a homespun English silk industry
[00:35.005]with the help of a particular tree, the mulberry.
[00:39.430]In 1608, James I had dozens of mulberry trees planted here  1608
[00:43.682]and introduced these Silkworms.
[00:48.762]And the idea was to harvest the silkworms' thread from the cocoon
[00:54.437]and use it to spin silk.
[00:55.808]Trouble is, he chose the wrong kind of mulberry tree.
[00:58.699]This, the black mulberry.
[01:01.547]And the silkworms just weren't interested.
