List of British Royal Residences

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of residences occupied by the British Royal family, noting the seasons of the year they are traditionally occupied.

Members of the British Royal Family inhabit a range of residences around the UK. Some are royal palaces, owned by the nation and held in trust by the monarch; others are privately owned. Balmoral Castle and Sandringham House have been inherited as private property for several generations. Other royal palaces are no longer residences (e.g. the Palace of Westminster, the Palace of Whitehall). Some remain in irregular use for royal occasions. The Royal Palaces enjoy certain legal privileges, for example there is an exemption from levying duty on alcoholic beverages sold in the bars at the Palace of Westminster and there are exemption from Health and Safety legislation.

The occupied royal residences are cared for and maintained by the Royal Household Property Section. The unoccupied royal palaces are now within the responsibility of the Historic Royal Palaces Agency.

This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.

St. James's Palace in London is still technically the "senior palace" of the monarch; the Chapel Royal is situated there and foreign ambassadors are still accredited to it. However, the Queen does not have an apartment there.
