Kew Palace is the smallest of Britain’s royal palaces, located in the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew in London. It began as a 1631 merchant’s house for Samuel Fortrey, later became a royal retreat for George II and Queen Caroline, and was especially associated with George III and Queen Charlotte.
The building you see today is mainly the surviving Dutch House from the original complex. The palace reflects a more domestic side of Georgian royal life rather than formal court ceremony. It is also closely tied to the story of George III’s illness and family life at Kew.
Interesting facts...
The attic has witch marks carved into the beams, a traditional protective sign.
The real charm of Kew Palace is that it feels more like a lived-in family house with royal history folded inside it than a showpiece palace
