These days, Her Majesty the Queen spends very little time at Buckingham Palace because she prefers to make her home in Windsor Castle instead. Even though she does not now reside in the palace, the monarch will never be in a position to be able to dispose of it in this manner because she does not even own the structure.
This is due to the fact that the royal home, which contains 775 rooms, is formally owned by the Crown Estate and not by the Queen herself. “The Crown Estate belongs to the current monarch ‘in right of The Crown,’ which means that it is owned by the monarch for the duration of their reign, by virtue of their accession to the throne,” it states on the website for the Crown Estate.
“But it is not the private property of the monarch; the monarch cannot sell it, and the income from it do not belong to the monarch.” “But it is not the private property of the monarch.”
So, who exactly is the owner of the Crown Estate? It is not a government organization but rather a private business, and one of the most important stakeholders is the Treasury Department.
It was revealed in The Daily Mail that the Queen will never return to live at the palace properly, and it has been widely reported that the queen never genuinely intended to live there in the first place. According to the report, the Queen will never return to live at the palace properly.
It was Sir Winston Churchill who advocated for the transfer to Buckingham Palace, as was documented by royal biographer Penny Junor in her book The Firm. The Queen wished to keep living at Clarence House after the death of her father; however, it was Sir Winston Churchill who pushed for the move.
It says that none of them wanted to go, and nobody wanted to go. They were quite fond of Clarence House; Winston Churchill, who was Prime Minister at the time, urged that they live there even though it was a family house.
The Queen’s dissatisfaction with moving from her first marriage home to Buckingham Palace was dramatized in another episode of The Crown, which can be streamed on Netflix.
Sandringham House, which is where Her Majesty spends the holidays, and Balmoral Castle, which is where the royal family spends their summer vacations, are the only two properties that are privately owned by the monarch. Although Her Majesty may have regal homes all over the country, she only owns Sandringham House and Balmoral Castle in her private capacity.
