1762 - King George III and Queen Charlotte moved into Buckingham House, now Buckingham Palace. They lived at St James' Palace but in 1762 The King purchased a nearby property, Buckingham House, located at the western end of St James's Park. More private and compact, the new property stood amid rolling parkland not far from St James's Palace. The Queen came to favor this residence, spending so much of her time there that it came to be known as The Queen's House. In 1775, an Act of Parliament settled the property on Queen Charlotte in exchange for her rights to Somerset House. Most of her children were born in Buckingham House, although St James's Palace remained the official and ceremonial royal residence.

A remodelling by Sir William Chambers for King George III was done in 1775.
