Residents of Thatched House Lodge, a Grade II listed building dating from the 17th century, in Richmond Park in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. It was the home of British prime minister Sir Robert Walpole and, later, was used as a grace-and-favour residence by various members of the Royal Household. U.S. General Dwight D. Eisenhower was allotted a suite there during the Second World War. Since 1963, it has been a royal residence, being leased from the Crown Estate by Princess Alexandra, The Honourable Lady Ogilvy and, until his death in 2004, her husband, Sir Angus Ogilvy.
