In fact, it is the official administrative headquarters and London residence of the monarch of the United Kingdom. Once named Buckingham House, and still the hub of today’s palace, it is situated in the City of Westminster.

The most recent major structural additions were completed in the early 20th century. The residence of the Queen features 775 rooms. That includes 188 rooms for staff, 92 offices, 78 bathrooms, 52 bedrooms, and 19 staterooms. It was last reportedly worth $1.55 billion. Buckingham Palace is officially owned by the British Sovereign along with Queen Elizabeth II.
