Clarence House is the official residence of TRH The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall and the homeof the Princes William and Harry. From 1953 to 2002 it was the home of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. Visitors are guided around the five ground-floor rooms where The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall undertake official engagements and receive guests from around the world.
Clarence House is open to the public between August and October each year. Visitors are given a guided tour of the five rooms and adjoining spaces on the ground floor. All tickets are timed and must be pre-booked.
Members of the public are able to see items from the Royal Collection and from the collection of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. The Queen Mother’s collection is particularly strong in 20th Century British art, with important works by John Piper, Graham Sutherland, W. S. Sickert and Augustus John.
The decoration of the rooms retains the ambience created by The Queen Mother, and much of her collection of works of art and furniture are in their former positions.
