What is Sandringham House?
[[File:Sandringham House.jpg|thumb|265px|Sandringham House, Norfolk, England|right]] '''Sandringham House''' is in [[Norfolk]], [[England]]. It has been in the [[British royal family]] since [[Albert, Prince Consort]] bought it for [[Edward VII of the United Kingdom]]. Like [[Balmoral Castle|Balmoral]], it is the private property of the monarch of the [[United Kingdom]], not an official, government owned, building. This meant that when [[Edward VIII of the United Kingdom|Edward VIII]] abdicated in 1936 the new king, [[George VI of the United Kingdom|George VI]], had to buy the properties from his brother. [[York Cottage]] is in the grounds of Sandringham Estate. {{Royal palaces in the United Kingdom}} {{commonscat}} {{UK-stub}} [[Category:Royal residences in the United Kingdom]]
