But, Sandringham isn't the only royal home you can rent. The family has amazingly opened up several other places for civilian guests to enjoy. Nicky Hilton made use of the famous Kensington Palace for her wedding to James Rothschild in August. The Orangery is located within Kensington Gardens and is licensed for civil weddings and allows for receptions on its terrace. It also happens to be located next door to William and Kate's apartment.

Meanwhile the favorite getaway for Queen Victoria was most certainly the Osbourne House with its own private beach and acres of lush grounds and gardens. You can experience the same hideaway feel by staying at the Pavilion or one of the Sovereigns Gate cottages near the beach.
