Stenhammar is owned by the State and it has been leased to King Carl XVI Gustaf since 1966, but is not considered a crown palace. The previous leaseholder was Prince Wilhelm, Duke of Södermanland (younger brother of the Kings' paternal grandfather) who lived there and held it until his death. Stenhammar was donated to the State by landowner and courtier Robert von Kræmer in 1903, and the will stipulates that it should be leased out to a Prince of the Royal House, preferably a Duke of Södermanland, if there is one.
In August 2023 king Carl XVI Gustaf and queen Silvia received Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the palace as a part of the latters visit to Sweden to discuss the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine.
