beautifull places such asTrafalgar
Square and Windsor Castle. But I
want to tell you about Buckingham
Palace.

• Buckingham Palace is the London residence and
administrative headquarters of the monarch of
the United Kingdom. Located in the City of
Westminster, the palace is often at the centre of
state occasions and royal hospitality. It has been
a focal point for the British people at times of

The house which forms the architectural core of
the palace was built for the first Duke of
Buckingham and Normanby in 1703 to the design
of William Winde. The style chosen was of a
large, three-floored central block with two
smaller flanking service wings. Buckingham
House was eventually sold by Buckingham's
illegitimate son, Sir Charles Sheffield, in 1761 to
George III for £21,000.leasehold on the mulberry
garden site, the freehold of which was still owned
by the royal family, was due to expire in 1774.

building was originally intended as a private
retreat for King George III's wife, Queen
Charlotte, and was aSome furnishings were
transferred from Carlton House, and others
had been bought in France after the French
Revolution[23] of 1789. While St James's
Palace remained the official and ceremonial

• Every year, some 50,000 invited guests are
entertained at garden parties, receptions,
audiences, and banquets. Three garden

April to July; every other day in other months).

Buckingham Palace is a symbol and home of the British monarchy, an art gallery, and a
tourist attraction. Behind the gilded railings and gates that were completed by the
Bromsgrove Guild in 1911 and Webb's famous façade, which has been described in a
book published by the Royal Collection Trust as looking "like everybody's idea of a
palace",[42] is not only a weekday home of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip but also
the London residence of the Duke of York and the Earl and Countess of Wessex. The
palace also houses their offices, as well as those of the Princess Royal and Princess
Alexandra, and is the workplace of more than 800 people.
