Was is Westminster Palace, or something different? I was wondering because I’m planning on writing a book where some of it takes place there, and I want to stay true to history. Please help me, I couldn’t find that information anywhere! Thanks!

Hello friend! Interesting question. I have a HUGE book on the British monarchy and I am just looking now. It includes information on all the castles the ruling families have lived in.
In 1840, Queen Victoria had been ruling for 3 years. In 1840, she married her beloved Prince Albert at St. James Palace on the 10th of February. They had dinner at Buckingham Palace and went to their honeymoon at Windsor.
According to my book, the family lived at Windsor, Balmoral and their family home of Osborne House on the Isle of Wight.
I hope that was helpful! I am referencing my book so you can possibly find it on Amazon. It is a great book.
