Historic Royal Palaces is an independent charity that manages the United Kingdom's unoccupied royal palaces:

Historic Royal Palaces is also responsible for Hillsborough Castle, Northern Ireland, the official residence in Northern Ireland of the King.

Historic Royal Palaces has managed the London palaces since 1989, and Hillsborough Castle since 2014. Occupied royal palaces, such as Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle, are maintained by the Royal Household Property Section, and some are open to the public.
