This is a list of residences occupied by the British Royal family, noting the seasons of the year they are traditionally occupied.

Members of the British Royal Family inhabit a range of residences around the UK. Some are royal palaces, owned by the nation; others are privately owned. Balmoral Castle and Sandringham House have been inherited as private property for several generations. Other royal palaces are no longer residences (e.g. the Palace of Westminster, the Palace of Whitehall).

Current residences

St. James's Palace is still technically the "senior palace" of the monarch; the Chapel Royal is situated there and foreign ambassadors are still accredited to it. However, the Queen does not have an apartment there.
