应该是总统的保镖也住在白金汉宫。下面这一段来自我找到的关于2011年Obama访问英国的一篇文章。
If it wasn’t exactly a tank that carried the President to the Palace, his Cadillac, built of reinforced steel plating said to be able to resist bullets, chemical attacks and even a missile strike, and known as 'The Beast’ certainly comes close. With a procession of black four-wheel drives, bearing everything from supplies of his blood to the nuclear button, and some 200 secret service agents, President and Michele Obama arrived at the Palace at 11.55, along with Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall, who had accompanied the Obamas from their overnight residence at the American Ambassador’s residence of Winfield House.

这200个人是否都住在白金汉宫不知道,但核武器的手提箱肯定是在美国secret service手中。
这一段提到Obama夫妇住的Belgian Suite的历史。
The Belgian Suite has a colourful past. The Shah of Persia, on a visit in 1873, had one of his servants beaten so severely, the poor man died.
Legend has it that his body is buried in the Palace gardens. More recently, several Middle Eastern potentates have insisted on their bodyguards sleeping across the doorway, while one, who brought his own chef, ordered him to cook his food on an open fire in the middle of the suite.
A compromise was reached when a stone-flagged section of the kitchen was made available.
