Buckingham Palace and its Net Curtains

A common fact unknown is that Buckingham palace shown above has evert window dressed with net. Unlike the images below the Queen has gone for more subtle plain curtains whereas some enthusiasts take it a little too far... are these window dressings considered bad or good taste?

What I want to incorporate into my final piece is the unique attributes that make the personalities of certain sectors of society that actually use net curtains. And from the my research it seems that the areas of upper class wealth have elaborately decorated nets as show pieces to show exemplary taste and wealth, whilst the other prolific sector is the lower class to which the net curtains serve the purpose shielding prying eyes off the expensive goods they hold within their houses.
