- Kensington Palace is a royal residence in London
- Famous royals have lived there over the years
- THESE members of the Royal Family live there now
Kensington Palace is one of the largest and oldest residences of the Royal Family. It was acquired by King William III in 1689.
However, it seems this palace is not much appreciated by members of the Royal Family, since many choose, if they can, to live elsewhere!
The palace was the vacation residence of King William III and Queen Mary. Later, it would be the home of the young Queen Victoria and eventually the home of the princesses Margaret and Diana.
Kensington Palace today: William, Kate, and beyond
Kensington Palace does not host the highest-ranking royals, but three cousins of Queen Elizabeth II. For this reason, approximately 50 people live there. Here's who...
Prince William, Kate and their children: Technically their official London home is Kensington Palace, specifically Apartment 1A, though they have moved to Windsor and currently reside there.
The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester: Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester, and Duchess Birgette have lived at the palace, within Old Stables, since 2019.
