The palace and the nearby Queen Charlotte’s Cottage, built in 1770, are most closely associated with King George III and his family.
Faithfully presented as King George III and his family would have known it in the early 1800s, Kew Palace was the setting for many personal family dramas that made history. The palace is well known as sanctuary for King George III during his bouts of illness, presumed as ‘madness’ but now known to have been porphyria. Queen Charlotte, his devoted wife, spent her last days at ‘dear Kew’ before she passed away in her bedroom at Kew Palace. And two of their sons, including the Duke of Kent, father to the future Queen Victoria, were married in the first floor Drawing Room. Most recently the palace hosted the private 80th Birthday party of HM The Queen in April 2006.
The setting for these stories and many more are the ornately decorated and furnished rooms, home to unique objects belonging to the palace’s inhabitants.
