Fix this textCLARENCE HOUSE, LONDON HOME OF MANY A ROYAL PAIR
Fix this textTW'EAR St. James’s Palace, and overlooking The Mall, is Clarence House,
Fix this textthe London home of H.R.H. Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edin-
Fix this textburgh. The original house was built in 1825 by John Nash, the celebrated
Fix this textRegency architect, for the Duke of Clarence, who later became King William
Fix this textIV (1830-1837). He was the third son of Gfcorge 111 and Charlotte Sophia,
Fix this textPrincess of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. In 1785, after five years in the navy, he
Fix this textwas promoted Captain and was created Duke of Clarence in 1789. Upon
Fix this textthe death of George IV in 1830, he succeeded to the throne.
Fix this textTen years later, Clarence House was given by Queen Victoria to her
Fix this textmother, the Duchess of Kent, as her private residence. Its next owner was
Fix this textQueen Victoria’s second son, the Duke of Edinburgh, whose beautiful Russian
Fix this textwife was the daughter of Czar Alexander 11. They returned from their
Fix this texthoneymoon to live at Clarence House.
Fix this textIn 1901 the house passed to the Duke’s brother and his wife, the Duke
Fix this textand Duchess of Connaught. Before her death, the Duchess suffered from
Fix this textan illness that made it difficult for her to walk, so, at the Duke’s request,
Fix this textKing Edward VII had a conservatory specially built over the portico so that she
Fix this textcould enjoy the view over St. James’s Park. When she died the Duke kept her
Fix this textroom as it was during her lifetime and nothing was allowed to be disturbed.
Fix this textAfter the Duke’s death in 1942, Clarence House stood unoccupied until
Fix this texttaken over by the Red Cross and St. John organisation. For the next five
Fix this textyears the magnificent rooms and halls echoed to the busy clatter of typewriters
Fix this textand telephones and the building itself did not escape damage from air raids.
Fix this textAfter its honourable war service, Clarence House was renovated and modernised
Fix this textand its walls now enclose the happy playground of Prince Charles and
Fix this textPrincess Anne.
