Kensington Palace in London, United Kingdom, is a royal residence with a rich history dating back to the 17th century. Originally known as Nottingham House, it was purchased by King William III and Queen Mary II in 1689 and transformed into a palace by Sir Christopher Wren. The palace has been home to several members of the British Royal Family, including Queen Victoria, who was born and raised there. Today, it serves as both a private residence for members of the Royal Family and a public museum, showcasing various exhibitions and the State Apartments.
