They’ve packed up their Kensington Palace apartment—the one with the 20 rooms and the private garden. And they’ve shifted to a four-bedroom house on the Windsor estate. Yes, you read that right: four bedrooms. That’s like, less than a reality TV star’s mansion.
But hold up. This isn’t just any four-bedroom house. It’s Adelaide Cottage, a historic Regency villa that’s cozier than a wool sweater. Think less “state banquet” and more “family movie night with popcorn.” Can you picture Kate chilling on a squashy sofa in her leggings? I can.
Why the Big Move Anyway?
The official reason is simple: proximity. They want to be closer to Queen Elizabeth’s country home, Windsor Castle. And with the kids—George, Charlotte, and Louis—starting school at Lambrook, a posh prep school just a stone’s throw away, it’s a no-brainer. No more traffic jams in central London. No more paparazzi lurking behind every bush.
Also, let’s be real: they probably wanted a break from that giant, echoey palace. You ever tried to have a quiet family dinner in a room with 30-foot ceilings? It’s not relaxing. It’s like eating a sandwich in a train station.
