So I was reading a book I had on various Royal palaces and something struck me as odd. In the late 17th and into the 18th centuries almost all of the continental monarchies went threw huge building campaigns, each trying to create a Palace to rival France's Versailles. From Peterhof in Russia to La Granja de San Ildefonso in Spain grand palaces spread threw Europe. However, Britain is a noticeable exception, with the various British Royal Palaces being found wanting when compared to these magnificent national treasures. So your challenge, should you choose to accept, is to create a British Versailles, or something similar. I don't mean actually design a Palace (though that would be VERY cool) but to say when such a palace could be built, who would be the architect and what the national response would be, either good or bad.
