Description

The official seat of Britain’s monarchy for almost 200 years, Buckingham Palace has provided the stage and backdrop to countless events that have shaped the nation and the wider world. An iconic building, family home, and nucleus of political power, it’s one of the nation’s most expensive estates.


But how did a singular building become such a staple part of Britain’s landscape? How did the royal headquarters develop? And what is its future in the 21st century and beyond?


This is a Short History Of Buckingham Palace.


A Noiser production. Written by Nicole Edmunds. With thanks to Philip Scott, a City of Westminster tour guide with an interest in Buckingham Palace, as well as a former teacher of history and politics.
