About

The elegant home to generations of stylish royal women: where Queen Victoria was born and raised; Queens Mary, Anne and Caroline held court; and the royal style-icons Princess Margaret and Diana, Princess of Wales lived in the 20th century.

Story

The feminine influence of generations of royal women has shaped this stylish palace and elegant gardens. The birthplace and childhood home of Queen Victoria, the palace first became a royal residence for William and Mary in 1689. Mary felt ‘shut in’ at Whitehall and much preferred her new Kensington home, which was enlarged by Sir Christopher Wren. The famous Orangery, was built in 1704 by Queen Anne, and George II’s wife, Queen Caroline, another keen gardener,
added further improvements. Today, the palace houses a stunning permanent display of fashionable and formal dresses, the Royal Ceremonial Dress Collection, which includes Queen Victoria’s wedding dress and dresses worn by Diana, Princess of Wales.

We knew it was closed due to Covid but we still wanted to go to the place to see how the gardens that Lady Di frequented were like, and it was really wonderful, a very beautiful place!

A stunning site! I loved every minute i was there. Some of the rooms are very similar to the rooms in Hampton court palace and it is very beautiful! I would love to go again!

Oh my Buddha , this is the only place you can memory Princess of Wales Diana , so of course should be my personal favorite spot in the world

We will definitely go here again. Beautiful Palace.

So beautiful and very informative.  It was such a great area!  I really was glad to get to visit.  We had no issues getting in with the london pass, and it was really not crowded either.  Was nice to have a easy walk in and out of all the rooms.  Also nice to have an exhibit where you can actually take pictures!
