Idea: rename this to "List of British and Commonwealth royal residences"

Why not include the Commonwealth realms in this list as well? A certain Rideau Hall is worth mentioning, but it's a Canadian royal residence. Never mind the fact that British royal family members tend to be Commonwealth royal family members as well...68.36.120.7 (talk) 06:03, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    • I think listing all of the Royal Family's official residences would make the article somewhat unruly. When you count all the residences in all the Commonwealth realms, it ends up being many dozens of homes in 16 countries around the world. I think the central focus of this article is to list the Royal residences located within the United Kingdom. If there are others who feel that the current title is misleading, perhaps a more clear title might be something like "List of Royal residences in the United Kingdom" Crm18 (talk) 22:33, 2 May 2011

Hillsborough Castle

If Hillsborough Castle is an official residence of the Queen in Northern Ireland, why doesn't the official website of the monarchy (www.royal.gov.uk) identify it as such? The website makes no mention of this status for the castle.

Also, if the castle is indeed an "official" royal residence, shouldn't it be included toward the beginning of the article in the section which lists the Queen's official and private residences? Crm18 (talk) 22:30, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

== arrest procedures/Fagan incident

Fire destroyed Sunninghill Park's first house?

The article for Sunninghill Park doesn't actually say when or how a fire destroyed the first house on the property. What's the story here? --RThompson82 (talk) 02:17, 21 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Villa Guardamangia

Can Villa Guardamangia in Malta be included on this list? The Queen lived there while she was still a princess, between 1949 and 1951. Xwejnusgozo (talk) 20:33, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ownership Status of Royal Residences

Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle, as far as I know, are part of the Occupied Palaces Estate, which is distinct from the Crown Estate. While the Crown Estate is self-financed and is managed by an independent board, the Occupied Palaces Estate is funded by the government (via the Department of Culture, Media and Sport) and its management is delegated to the Royal Household. The Wikipedia article, in its present form, is full of inaccurate information. 161.24.19.44 (talk) 12:57, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Crown Lands vs. Crown Estate

The palaces owned by the Crown are "Crown Lands" but as I understand it are quite distinct from those under the control of the Crown Estate. See www.crownestate.co.uk for more. LE (talk) 18:39, 10 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
