Clarence House has been a Royal residence since its construction between 1825 and 1827. The building was originally designed by British architect John Nash, who was also responsible for other notable areas, like the development of Regent's Park and Regent Street in London.
It was commissioned by Prince William Henry, Duke of Clarence, and has served as the residence for many members of the Royal family over its almost two decades in use. Former residents have included the now-late Queen Elizabeth II (then Princess Elizabeth) and The Duke of Edinburgh, after their marriage in 1947, and Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, who resided there from 1953 until 2002.
Most recently, Clarence House served as the official residence of the former Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall, now King Charles III and the Queen Consort, who will move to Buckingham Palace following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.
