Walking in the Footsteps of Royalty in England
The rich history of royalty in England is one that conjures all sorts of images in the mind. Whether it’s something as bold as Cate Blanchett’s portrayal as Queen Elizabeth in Elizabeth: The Golden Age, or perhaps it’s Golda Rosheuvel’s portrayal of Queen Charlotte in Netflix’s opulent series Bridgerton, one thing’s for certain: wealth is always at the center of royal existence.
As you plan your vacation to England, the following will help you map out your journey as a “vicarious royal” in Great Britain’s South.
Windsor Castle is located about 45 minutes outside of London.
Windsor Castle
The late Queen Elizabeth II was always particularly fond of Windsor Castle. After all, she spent a considerable amount of time there as a child and throughout her time as Queen. Its privacy and environment afforded Her Majesty a unique “work at home” experience that she treasured. The cavernous castle dates roughly to 1086 and contains 484,000 square feet of space. Its priceless fine art collection will cause you to marvel at the sheer opulence that is very apparent as you tour this historic property.
Buckingham Palace is one of London’s must see destinations.
Buckingham Palace
Steeped in British heritage and iconic in so many ways, Buckingham Palace is a must for anyone visiting England for the first time. Originally named Buckingham House, this massive edifice was built in 1703 and it stands as a generational testament to British influence. Gifted to Queen Charlotte by King George III in 1761, the palace continues to draw scores of visitors who are keen to experience how royals live via a property tour. With its grand staircase, opulent State rooms and priceless works of art, you’ll quickly realize that your tour is no ordinary open house experience.
For a warm yet modern and innovative experience in London, Costco Travel recommends St. Ermin’s Hotel - Opens a dialog , located less than a mile from Buckingham Palace.

Kensington Palace is near the beautiful Kensington Garden.
Kensington Palace
For nearly 300 years, Kensington Palace has been the effective “holding pen” for numerous “line of succession” British Royals. One of the main royals born at Kensington Palace happened to be Queen Victoria. While being an official royal residence with actual royals staying on the property, visitors are allowed to tour certain historic areas of Kensington Palace. Additionally, there are frequent exhibits that occur here throughout each year.
For an elegant boutique hotel experience Costco Travel recommends The Milestone Hotel - Opens a dialog , located less than a mile from Kensington Palace.
Sandringham House is fully owned by the reigning monarch of England.
Sandringham House
With lush foliage and well-manicured surroundings, Sandringham House is a place where British royals from the last 160+ years have basked in the sumptuousness of luxury while enjoying solitude and relaxation, and rightfully so. Unlike many Royal palaces in England, Sandringham House is 100% owned by the reigning monarch of England. Many historic events have taken place at Sandringham House, including Queen Elizabeth II’s annual Christmas greeting which sent its first broadcast from here in 1957. As you tour this grand estate that houses an actual working farm, you’ll learn Sandringham House is much more than just a home with notable individuals living within. It also supports its local community with jobs that are focused on sustainability, something which is of particular interest to King Charles III.
