I believe that Buckingham Palace is where the Queen spends most of her time. I certainly couldn't find any information that contradicts this. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Buckingham Palace is the Monarch's "official residence" and where they are expected to meet other heads of state/conduct official business but the Queen doesn't have to spend all of her time there, even if it is officially her home.
I don't even think most monarchs actually like the place!
The Queen officially spends a month at Windsor in spring, and another week in July, but unofficially spends much more time there. It's the Official Country Residence of the Monarch. Buckingham Palace is merely the Official London Residence of the Monarch.
Because it's easily commutable to London, and far nicer than Buckingham Palace (and yes monarchs do hate it - when Elizabeth ascended the throne, she wanted to stay in her much smaller residence nearby), it has tended to be where the Queen has actually lived most of the time, with Buck House basically being the office that has a house attached - typically only used when there's a reason for the Queen to be in London for a few days.
Buckingham Palace is where the Queen primarily does her Queening though.
I tend to go along with ''ruftytufty' in this , the tower is concrete with steel ribbing, there is a lift inside that takes 7 minutes to reach the observation rooms, the working areas and main computer rooms. People work up there in the building. see ....................https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1qnS5gpX3I
Scotland has its own national song 'Flower of Scotland' and Wales has its own national anthem ' Mae hen wlad fy nhadau'. In Northern Ireland and England, "God Save the Queen" is still used as the official anthem.
yes but there are two official national anthems of the uk and two official languages. english and welsh, god save the queen and mae hen wlad fy nhadau.
No, the whole comprises the parts and the parts compose the whole. Example: the Union comprises 50 states and 50 states compose the Union (thank you, American Heritage dictionary). “Is comprised of” is a less preferred construction.
Can you make "House of peers" and "The Right Honourable the Lords Spiritual and Temporal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in Parliament assembled" acceptable for House of Lords?

Having an office or two inside doesn't seem to be decisive for towers to become buildings.

I love the idea to do a Country Trivia Quiz
