Summary edit

Description The building today known as Kew Palace was originally a mansion known as the Dutch House built in 1663. It was leased by George III from the Levett family. The Levett family retained ownership of the house until 1781, when the Dutch House was purchased by King George III for £20,000. He stayed at the house during much of his years of insanity. George's wife, Queen Charlotte died at the Dutch House on November 17, 1818. On ascending the throne in 1837 Queen Victoria gave the palace along with most of Kew Gardens to the nation.
