Now that King Charles III has succeeded his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, on the British throne, he gains control of the royal family’s portfolio of historic palaces, castles and stately homes across the country.
Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, Clarence House, Kensington Palace, St James’s Palace, the Palace of Holyroodhouse and Hillsborough Castle are all owned and administered by the Crown Estate on behalf of the British monarchy, while others, such as Balmoral in Aberdeenshire and Sandringham in Norfolk, are the personal property of the family.
