[[James VI and I|James I]] carried out the final remodelling work on Greenwich Palace, granting the manor to his wife [[Anne of Denmark|Queen Anne of Denmark]]. In 1616 Anne commissioned [[Inigo Jones]] to design and build the surviving [[Queen's House]] as the final addition to the palace.

[[Charles I of England|Charles I]] granted the manor to his wife [[Queen Henrietta Maria]], for whom Inigo Jones completed the Queen's House. During the [[English Civil War]], the palace was used as a biscuit factory and prisoner-of-war camp. Then, in the [[English Interregnum|Interregnum]], the palace and park were seized to become a 'mansion' for the [[Lord Protector]].

By the time of the [[Restoration (1660)|Restoration]], the Palace of Placentia had fallen into disuse and was pulled down. New buildings began to be established as a grand palace for Charles II, but only the King Charles block was completed. Charles II also redesigned and replanted Greenwich Park and founded and built the Royal Observatory.

Prince James (later King [[James II of England|James II & VII]]), as [[Duke of York]] and [[Lord High Admiral of the United Kingdom|Lord High Admiral]] until 1673, was often at Greenwich with his brother Charles and, according to [[Samuel Pepys]], he proposed the idea of creating a Royal Naval Hospital. This was eventually established at Greenwich by his daughter [[Mary II of England|Mary II]], who in 1692–1693 commissioned [[Christopher Wren]] to design the Royal Hospital for Seamen (now the Old Royal Naval College). The work was begun under her widower [[William III of England|William III]] in 1696 and completed by [[Hawksmoor]]. [[Anne, Queen of Great Britain|Queen Anne]] and [[Prince George of Denmark]] continued to patronise the project.
