Royal Borough

Although several English boroughs sometimes are called "royal", there are actually only three boroughs that have legal right to the title "Royal Borough": Kensington and Chelsea; Kingston upon Thames; and Windsor and Maidenhead. They all received this honorary title during or shortly after the reign of Queen Victoria to signify that they had a special standing with the royal family:

• Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea – title originally given to Kensington in 1901, fulfilling a wish by Queen Victoria to honour her birthplace
• Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames
• Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead – title originally given to Windsor itself
