Who Lives at St James Palace

Who Lives at St James Palaceの概要と注目ポイントを一挙に解説しました。

Beyond the blood royals, the palace is stuffed with the real power players: courtiers, private secretaries, and the “Gentlemen Ushers.” These are the folks who make the monarchy tick—the ones who decide what time the King eats his kippers.

You’ve also got the Master of the Household and a battalion of housekeepers, chefs, and footmen. Imagine trying to vacuum a 16th-century chimney with a Dyson. (“I’ll just use the dustpan and a prayer, Your Majesty.”) And, of course, the palace has its resident ghosts. Legends say the ghost of Henry VIII haunts the chapel, dragging his gout-ridden leg and muttering about Anne Boleyn. I’d pay to see that—but only if he brought snacks.

What About the Regulars? The Tradesmen & The Guards

Don’t forget the tradespeople who keep the place running. There’s a full-time florist, a surgeon apothecary to the household (yes, that’s a real title), and a team of cobblers who polish the Queen’s shoes. Actually, it’s the King’s shoes now. Sorry, habit.

And, of course, there are the iconic Beefeaters—the Yeomen Warders. They live on site, too! They have their own pub, the “Warders’ Hall,” and they’re allowed to grow a beard if they feel like it. (I tried that. My wife called me “hobo-bearded.”)
