A Look at the 30 Homes Owned by the British Royal Family
Queen Elizabeth II loved to spend her summers at Balmoral Castle.
The British royal family has long resided in some of the most prestigious buildings in the world. Many people know about Buckingham Palace, Kensington Palace, and even the family's summer home, Balmoral Castle. However, there are a number of lesser-known residences throughout the United Kingdom and the world that even the most loyal royal followers may not be aware of. We're talking extravagant royal complexes dating back to the Tudor dynasty and a breezy vacation house in the Isles of Scilly that you can rent for yourself.
Whether they are properties still owned by the monarchy or former palaces now regulated as museums, many of these residences recall the history and lives of British royalty and the people of the country. From a 50,000-acre estate in Norfolk, England to a miniature Berkshire Wendy house, these are the 30 regal estates that the royal family has called home.
