Why was Buckingham Palace built?
Buckingham Palace was built as a town house by the Duke of Buckingham in 1702 and sold to King George III in 1761. Remodelling of the rear of the palace by Nash in 1820, virtually doubled the size of the palace to its current 750+ rooms. However, the front facade has remained almost unchanged for over 300 years. Buckingham Palace has been used as the London Royal Residence since it was first occupied by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in 1837.

They are: William IV (died 1837) Victoria (reigned 1837-1901) Edward VII (reigned 1901-1910) George V (reigned 1910-1936) Edward VIII (reigned only briefly, for 9 months in 1936) George VI (reigned 1936-52) Elizabeth II (reigned 1952-present) It should be stressed that the Palace is the administrative centre for the British Royal family, where they receive visiting dignitaries and host VIP functions, but it is not their official home, which is Windsor Castle.

How long has buckingham palace been built for?
Buckingham Palace is the London home and primary residence of the British monarch. Located in the City of Westminster, the palace is a setting for state occasions and royal hospitality. It has been a focus for the British people at times of national rejoicing and crisis.Originally known as Buckingham House, the building which forms the core of today's palace was a large townhouse built for the Duke of Buckingham in 1705 on a site which had been in private ownership for at least 150 years. It was subsequently acquired by George III in 1761 as a private residence for Queen Charlotte, and known as "The Queen's House". During the 19th century it was enlarged, principally by architects John Nash and Edward Blore, forming three wings around a central courtyard. Buckingham Palace finally became the official royal palace of the British monarch on the accession of Queen Victoria in 1837. The last major structural additions were made in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including the East front which contains the well-known balcony on which the Royal Family traditionally congregate to greet crowds outside. However, the palace chapel was destroyed by a German bomb in World War II; the Queen's Gallery was built on the site and opened to the public in 1962 to exhibit works of art from the Royal Collection.
