Historic Royal Palaces
We tell stories about the monarchs you know, and the lives you don’t.
Historic Royal Palaces looks after six sites: Hampton Court Palace, the Tower of London, Kensington Palace, Kew Palace, Banqueting House and Hillsborough Castle. Together these sites tell 1,000 years of history, from the royal families that chose these palaces, to the many lives of those that lived and worked alongside them.
We are a charity, and your support gives the palaces a future, for everyone. Stay tuned for new videos on Wednesdays two or three times a month.
