Anything you leave here will be well guarded, but if you'd rather bring a carry-all with you, that's perfectly acceptable. We will be seeing parts of the palace not normally on the tour, so I must inform you that any such bags will be checked before you leave. But, please, don't take it as a mark against you. It's simply policy."
