Originally known s Buckingham House, the building witch forms the core of today's palace was a large townhouse for the Duke of Bukingham in 1703 on a site witch had been in private ownership for at least 150 years.It was subsequently acquired by King George III in 1761 as a private residence fr Queen Charlotte and was known as ''the Queen's House''. During the 19th Century it was enlarged,principally by architects John Nash and Edward Blore, who formed three wings around a central courtyard. Buckingham Palace finally became the offical royal palace of the British monarch on the accession of Queen Victoria in 1837.

52 Royal and guest bedrooms, 188 staff bedrooms, 92 offices and 78
bathrooms.Vital statistics: Buckingham Palace is 108 metres long across
the front, 120 metres deep (including the quadrangle) and 24 metres high.
The total floor area of the Palace, from basement to roof, covers over
77,000 square metres.The site where Buckingham Palace now stands was
originally a mulberry garden planted by King James I (r. 1603-25) to rear
silkworms. Unfortunately, he chose the wrong kind of mulberry bush, and
silk production never took off in Britain. Buckingham Palace ets its name
from an eighteenth-century Tory politician. John Sheffield, 3rd Earl of
Mulgrave and Marquess of Normanby, was created Duke of Buckingham in
1703. He built Buckingham House for himself as a grand London home. In
1761, George III bought Buckingham House for his wife, Queen Charlotte, to
use as a comfortable family home close to St James's Palace. Buckingham
House became known as the Queen's House, and 14 of George III's 15
children were born there.Buckingham House was transformed into
Buckingham Palace in the 1820s by the architect John Nash for George IV.
But the first monarch to use Buckingham Palace as their official residence
was Queen Victoria, who moved there in 1837. The previous monarch -
William IV - had preferred to live at Clarence House and to use St. James's
Palace for State functions.
