The Balmoral estate's Tam-Na-Ghar, which Prince William and Princess Kate call home, was given to William by his great-grandmother, the Queen Mother, in 2002. It contains three bedrooms and is close to Birkhall, King Charles' Balmoral residence.

Highgrove is the formal country residence of King Charles. However, the Duchy of Cornwall owns it, and Prince William has succeeded his father as the Duke of Cornwall. This means King Charles must pay him $800,000 in rent yearly, even though Highgrove is officially his.
Buckingham Palace and all the mansions Queen Elizabeth II possessed
In an earlier story, Legit.ng wrote about all Queen Elizabeth II's mansions before her passing. Queen Elizabeth II was the British empire's longest-reigning ruler after ruling for 70 years.
The Queen's official residence was Buckingham Palace, but she owned several other palaces.
Due to her rank, she was the owner of specific properties, while others were gifts to her from family members.
