School holidays are starting this week, and royal-related sites across the UK are preparing to welcome families with activities and features for all ages. There are many different programmes and events happening throughout the summer, with something for everyone.
Blenheim Palace
Although Blenheim Palace was never a royal residence, it has very close royal connections. Located in Woodstock, Oxfordshire, it is the only non-royal/non-episcopal residence to hold the title of palace; it is the seat of the Dukes of Marlborough. John Churchill was the first Duke of Marlborough, with a long and dedicated political and military career. His wife, Sarah, was the best friend of Queen Anne, and John was given the gift of the land and money to help start construction on Blenheim as a reward for his services. While Sarah and Anne’s friendship fractured and disintegrated, Blenheim Palace still stands. Emb
