A castle is consider a place for defense, with curtain walls and guarded gates and highly defensable inner tower. A palace is a place a king/queen and family live and once gun powder became available so castles were out of date, a palace was a very big house with space for entertaining lots of people. Both require a large staff to maintain, but a castle is going to have a lot more provision for keeping military type defenders and keeping the surrounding population when attacked.
