The first Duke of Buckingham built it at the beginning of the 18th century, but in 1762 the English King George III wanted it as a family home and bought it from the Duke's son. King George IV didn't think it was beautiful and decided to rebuild it, but the work took a very long time and George IV died before he could live in it. The next king disliked Buckingham Palace and tried to give it to Parliament, who didn't want to take it. When Queen Victoria came to the throne in 1837, the palace was not ready yet. Victoria made more changes. She and her family lived in Buckingham Palace during all the years of her reign. All British monarchs after Queen Victoria used Buckingham Palace as their residence. Now Queen Elizabeth II and members of her family are living there. Parts of the palace are open to visitors. You can tell when the Queen is at home because there is a flag on the roof of the palace.
