Zusammenfassung:Today Kensington Palace is synonymous with young royals: it is the official home of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their family, and of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. It is also famous for being the residence of Diana, Princess of Wales, during the last years of her life. But the history of Kensington stretches back much further. It boasts more than three centuries of continuous royal occupation, making it unique among the Historic Royal Palaces. Formerly a private house enlarged by Christopher Wren in the late 17th century to suit the needs of William and Mary, Kensington Palace was the favoured home of five sovereigns until the death of George II in 1760. The palace's unprepossessing appearance belies its architectural significance, for it was shaped and decorated by some of the country?s leading architects, artists and craftsmen, and is now a major national monument. Kensington?s social and political significance is arguably even greater. It has played host to some of the most important personalities and events in the long history of the royal family
