Grace and favour

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about the monarchal grant of grace and favour. For the British television show, see Grace & Favour.

A Grace and favour is a house or flat owned by the British sovereign and lent to persons rent-free in gratitude for past services. They are at times granted to senior politicians: for example, Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott resided in a grace-and-favour home in Dorneywood until the end of May 2006.[1][2]
