about the monarchal grant the British television show Grace & Favour A grace and favour home is a residential property owned by a monarch by virtue of their position as head of state and leased rent free to persons as part of an employment package or in gratitude for past services rendered.

In the United Kingdom , these homes are owned by The Crown or a charity and, in modern times, are often within the gift of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Prime Minister .
