Kensington Palace -
secrets of the royal palaces

Kensington Palace is home to the extended royal family: the aunts and cousins who need somewhere suitable to live. Its first royal occupants were William and Mary, who reigned from 1688. They employed Christopher Wren -- at the time halfway through a massive building programme on St Paul's Cathedral -- to expand Nottingham House into a palace. It was done quickly and cheaply and, says Anna Whitelock, 'it was all a bit of a botched job.'
