"Я радуюсь в Букингемском дворце", сказала королева Виктория, после восхождения на престол. Она не замечала запаха плесени и того, что королевские апартаменты вентилировались через общую канализацию, колокола не звонили, некоторые двери не закрывались, а окна не открывались… Виктория первая назначила Букингемский дворец главной королевской резиденцией в 1837 году. И хотя позднее, после смерти мужа в 1861 году, она переехала в Виндзорский замок, Букингем навсегда остался главной резиденцией монархов Англии.
