In 1689 William III bought the Jacobean mansion Kensington Palace, originally known as Nottingham House from his Secretary of State, the Earl of Nottingham, and commissioned Christopher Wren to extend and improve the house. Until the death of George II in 1760, Kensington Palace was the favorite residence of successive sovereigns.
Queen Victoria was born and raised in the Palace. Later, it had been expected that Victoria would reign from either Kensington or St James's Palace but almost instantly she moved to Buckingham Palace ultimately.
Today Kensington Palace contains the offices and London residences of The Prince and Princess of Wales, The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and those of Kent, and Prince and Princess Michael of Kent.
Historic parts of Kensington Palace are open to the public. Kensington Palace is also home to the Royal Ceremonial Dress Collection - ceremonial and court dress dating from the 18th century to nowadays.
