Hey there, royal enthusiasts! If you thought the Tanner house was packed, wait till you hear about Kensington Palace. This iconic London residence isn’t just the domain of Queen Elizabeth II and her immediate family—it's practically a bustling royal community! While Her Majesty prefers the grandeur of Buckingham Palace, Kensington Palace is home to a surprising number of British royals who likely won’t ever don the crown. So, buckle up, because we’re diving into who lives in this storied palace and what makes it so special.
Let’s start with the obvious, shall we? Kensington Palace is the official London home of Prince William, his lovely wife Kate Middleton, and their adorable family. But that’s not all—it’s also where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle called home for a while before they moved on to pastures new. And guess what? These famous faces only scratch the surface of the royal lineup residing within its majestic walls.

According to the official royal website, Kensington Palace is more than just a home—it’s practically a mini-royal village. Among its esteemed residents are the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, Prince Richard (a cousin of the Queen) and his wife Birgitte. Then there’s the Duke and Duchess of Kent, Prince Edward (another of the Queen’s cousins) and his wife Katharine. Don’t forget Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, yet another set of royal cousins who also call this grand palace their home. That’s quite the family reunion!
Princess Eugenie's Charming Cottage
Not officially listed on the Kensington Palace website, but just as fascinating, is Princess Eugenie of York. This stylish royal, who happens to be William and Harry’s cousin, started renting a cozy three-bedroom cottage on the palace grounds back in 2016. Known as Ivy Cottage, it’s said to be rented at market rate, adding a touch of modern-day normalcy to the royal lifestyle.
