		On Tessin the Elder's death in 1681, the palace was completed by his son, already at work on Stockholm's Royal Palace.
		Since 1981 the Swedish royal family has slummed it out at Drottningholm, using the palace as a permanent home, a move that has accelerated efforts to restore parts of the palace to their original appearance – so that the monumental Grand Staircase is now exactly as envisaged by Tessin the Elder.
