Charles, the monarch, possesses an extensive collection of historic properties, including the iconic Buckingham Palace. Built in 1703, Buckingham Palace serves as the administrative hub for the royal family, boasting 775 rooms spread across an impressive 830,000-square-foot area.
Currently, Charles and Camilla reside in Clarence House, situated near St. James’s Palace in London. Constructed in the 1820s, Clarence House has been their home since the passing of the Queen in 2003. According to reports from Hello Magazine, they are expected to remain at Clarence House until at least 2027.
Windsor Castle is another notable property in Charles’ impressive portfolio, having narrowly escaped destruction in a fire back in November 1992. Additionally, the king and queen enjoy several vacation residences, including Dumfries House, Balmoral Castle, and Sandringham Estate. In May 2025, Charles acquired The Old Mill in Wiltshire, located near Camilla’s family home, further expanding his collection.
The Prince and Princess of Wales’ official residence is Apartment 1A at Kensington Palace, which has been in the family’s possession since the 17th century. This royal abode features 52 bedrooms, 78 bathrooms, multiple gardens, and 188 staff bedrooms. However, the couple recently announced plans to move to their primary residence, Adelaide Cottage, marking a new chapter for the family.
Prince William and Duchess Kate also own Anmer Hall in Norfolk and the Tam-Na-Ghar estate at Balmoral. Princess Anne, King Charles’ younger sister, resides at Gatcombe Park in Gloucestershire, England. Originally built in the 1770s, this property was gifted to Anne by Queen Elizabeth II in 1976. With its picturesque farmland, Anne manages a working farm on the estate, a topic she touched upon during a 2014 BBC Countryfile appearance.
During their time in the U.K., Prince Harry and Meghan Markle lived at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor Great Park before relocating to Canada in 2020. After a brief stay in Canada, they settled in a luxurious Mediterranean-style estate in Montecito, California, featuring nine bedrooms and 16 bathrooms. They also purchased a vacation home on the Portuguese coast in 2024, near Princess Eugenie’s estate.
Each member of the British royal family has a unique and illustrious collection of residences, reflecting their status and history within the monarchy.
