The most famous resident, of course, is Prince William and Kate Middleton with their three kids. They live in Apartment 1A, a sprawling 20-room home inside the palace itself. Imagine having to worry about your toddler’s tricycle ending up in a state banquet hall.
But they’re not alone. Other members of the royal family have tucked away in the palace’s many wings. Princess Eugenie and her family also call it home, which means the playground chatter probably involves pony rides and then some.

If you were to knock on a door a few gardens down, you might get Elton John answering. He sold his pink palace here a few years back, but the street still echoes with his glamorous past. Imagine trying to have a quiet barbecue when your neighbor is belting out “Rocket Man” from a home studio.
These days, the residents are more often global business moguls and foreign ambassadors. The houses here are less “homes” and more like small embassies disguised as mansions. You’ll spot flags from various countries fluttering above the hedges, not washing on the line.
