Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Court of St. James's is the royal court of the United Kingdom. The Court of St. James's is named after St. James's Palace which is the senior Palace of the Sovereign, currently Queen Elizabeth II. It remains the official residence of the British Monarchy despite Queen Victoria moving to Buckingham Palace after her accession in 1837. Though St James's Palace is the official residence of the Sovereign, the Court moves with The Queen. As Buckingham Palace is the official London residence, the court and consequently meetings of the Privy Council occur there as the Queen does not live at St James's. During her extended stays at Windsor Castle, Sandringham during Christmas and at Holyrood Palace or Balmoral Castle in Scotland in the summer the Court will be at Windsor, Sandringham, Holyrood or Balmoral
