Lots of people have lived in Hampton Court. It was originally built by Cardinal Wolsey. After his death it came into the possession of Henry VIII and has been a royal palace ever since. It is no longer a royal residence and no monarchs have lived there since George II. George III didnt even set foot inside

Where did the Kings of Britain live?
Great Britain came into existence when England and Scotland merged in 1707. The official palace at that time was St James Palace in the centre of London. After 1837 the official residence of the monarch became Buckingham Palace as now. Prior to that time the Kings or Queens of England had lived in Whitehall Palace in the centre of London. Prior to c1550 they official residence had been Greenwich Palace on the Thames downriver of London. Prior to c1500 the favoured residence of the English monarchs since c1350 had been Eltham Palace, which stood in a large park south of London. The early monarchs following William the Conqueror were also kings of parts of France and preferred (as I would) to spend most of their time in France. William himself got back to Normandy as soon as he could after his London coronation. But all monarchs have owned several palaces and spent some part of the year in each as well as spending time touring the country (at horse speed) and staying the night (at huge expense to the owner) in various country houses. All of that is of course true, but I believe and have learned that the Kings of Britain, with using a little brain power, must have lived in Buckingham Palace, with all the royal families that have lived, are living there today, and the royal families that will live there later have also stayed and lived there.

Did Henry the viii only live at Hampton court?
No, he only acquired Hampton Court on the fall of Cardinal Wolsey in 1529. He was born at Greenwich and lived in various places during his lifetime as the Court would move from palace to palace or castle for various reasons - to avoid infection or the plague, to enable the palaces to be cleaned, for hunting and so on. So he would live at Whitehall, Richmond, Nonesuch (now demolished), Windsor, even the Tower of London (a royal residence as well as a prison) and so on, as well as at Hampton Court.

What did Henry use Hampton court for?
Tudor sections of Hampton Court, which were later overhauled and rebuilt by Henry VIII, suggest that Wolsey intended it as an ideal Renaissance cardinal's palace in the style of Italian architects such as il Filarete and Leonardo da Vinci: rectilinear symmetrical planning, grand apartments on a raised piano nobile, classical detailing. Jonathan Foyle has suggested that it is likely that Wolsey had been inspired by Paolo Cortese's De Cardinalatu, a manual for cardinals that included advice on palatial architecture, published in 1510. Planning elements of long-lost structures at Hampton Court appear to have been based on Renaissance geometrical programs, an Italian influence more subtle than the famous terracotta busts of Roman emperors by Giovanni da Maiano that survive in the great courtyard. Hampton Court remains the only one of 50 palaces built by Henry VIII financed from the Dissolution of the Monasteries.The palace was appropriated by Wolsey's master, Henry VIII, in about 1525, although the Cardinal continued to live there until 1529. Henry added the Great Hall - which was the last medieval Great Hall built for the English monarchy - and the Royal Tennis Court, which was built and is still in use for the game of real tennis, not the present-day version of the game. This court is now the oldest Real Tennis Court in the world that is still in use.
