The palace is empty except for some state rooms. Often the ameublement in these rooms were complement with the rest of the interior, so that is why these rooms are still intact.
For the rest the palace looks good on the surface but is technically completely out of date. Everything, from the wiring to the piping, from the heating to the kitchen equipment, from the sanitary to the lighting scheme, everything dates from the last major renovation in the 1930's and the whole building needs to be updated from cellar to rooftop.
Also the state rooms need major renovations: the wallhangings, large paintings, the guilded doors, the chandeliers and candelabras, the marble floors, everything needs restoration and maintenance. Not so strange for a building so intensively used as a family home and a crowded palace for 70 years. See aerial picture.
