What were the first ten royals to live in buckingham palace?

Answer 1

Buckingham Palace was completed in 1837, the year that King William IV died and Queen Victoria came to the throne. Thus it has been occupied by all British sovereigns since William IV, but these do not yet number as high as ten! 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. Buckingham Palace is actually owned by the British State, with Windsor Castle actually the PROPERTY of the Royals.

Answer 2

The first reigning monarch to live in Buckingham Palace was King William IV, the uncle of Queen Victoria and the younger brother of George IV. He reigned from 1830-37.

It should be mentioned that Buckingham Palace is owned by the State, not by the British monarchy. Although they have apartments there, their own home is Windsor Castle.
