Description

Buckingham Palace is de officiële residentie van de Britse monarch in Londen. Als de koning aanwezig is, wappert de koninklijke standaard op het middelste paviljoen; is hij er niet, dan wordt de Union Jack gehesen. Er werken dagelijks ruim 300 mensen aan de koninklijke hofhouding.

Oorspronkelijk heette het gebouw 'Buckingham House' omdat het in 1703 werd gebouwd voor John Sheffield, hertog van Buckingham. Koning George III kocht het pand in 1762 van diens nakomeling Charles Sheffield. Sinds 1837 doet het dienst als residentie. Koningin Victoria was de eerste monarch die het paleis permanent bewoonde. Het huidige aanzicht dateert van 1913, toen koning George V de voorgevel liet moderniseren door architect Aston Webb.
