The house was built between 1845 and 1851 for Queen Victoria and Prince Albert as a summer home and rural retreat. Prince Albert designed the house himself in the style of an Italian Renaissance palazzo. The builder was Thomas Cubitt, the London architect and builder whose company built the main facade of Buckingham Palace for the royal couple in 1847. Following the death of Queen Victoria in 1901, King Edward VII, who had never liked Osborne, presented the house to the state on Coronation Day in 1902.
