Methdology: UNCLE collected floor plans of properties that are in close proximity to the royal homes and then calculated an estimated average rental cost per square metre for these properties. Then, using each royal residencies’ estimated size in square metres, we calculated how much it might cost to rent each home per month.
*updated October 2022 - with the Queen's passing, it is not yet known whether the King and Queen Consort will officially move to Buckingham Palace, however, these residences have been inherited by King Charles III, and therefore, HRH has been listed by default as the official resident. 		@dropdown
