Saint James's Palace, the most senior royal palace in the United Kingdom. Completed in 1536, during the reign of Henry VIII (the one that separated the English church). Today the Royal Court is still formally based there, despite the monarch residing elsewhere. It is also a residence of some minor royal family members. Also, according to Wikipedia, the offices of the Royal Collection Department, the Marshal of the Diplomatic Corps, the Central Chancery of the Orders of Knighthood, the Chapel Royal, the Gentlemen at Arms, the Yeomen of the Guard and the Queen's Watermen are all housed at St James's Palace. Since the beginning of the 2000s, the Royal Philatelic Collection has been housed at St James's Palace, after spending the entire 20th century at Buckingham Palace.
