Is the desk in the white house the same as the desk in Buckingham palace?
Not entirely true. Queen Victoria had a writing table (considered by some to be a desk, though by no means a twin of the desk in the Oval Office) constructed from the HMS Resolute’s timbers, which was kept in Buckingham Palace. For the last several years, the desk has been on loan from the Royal Collection to the Royal Navy Museum in Portsmouth, UK.
