Historic Royal Palaces

We are the charity who love and look after Hampton Court Palace, Kensington Palace, Tower of London, the Banqueting House, Kew Palace, and Hillsborough Castle and Gardens. Our cause is to stir every spirit, to inspire and provoke change. Each of the palaces in our care has survived for hundreds of years. They have witnessed peace and prosperity and splendid periods of building and expansion, but they also share stories of more turbulent times, of war and domestic strife, politics and revolution. The palaces are owned by The Queen on behalf of the nation. However, we raise all our own funds and depend on the support of our visitors, members, donors, sponsors and volunteers.
