Prince William and Duchess Kate: A Royal Move to Adelaide Cottage

This summer, Prince William and Duchess Kate are making a significant change by relocating to Adelaide Cottage.

Nestled within the Queen's Windsor estate, this charming Grade II listed property is not only a new home for the couple but also a chance to connect with their royal neighbors.

The Windsor estate is steeped in history, and now the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will be just a stone's throw away from the Queen herself.

Her Majesty has taken up permanent residence at Windsor Castle, a majestic fortress that spans a staggering 484,000 square feet and boasts over 1,000 rooms.

During the pandemic, the Queen chose to hunker down in this 900-year-old castle, accompanied by a close-knit group of 22 staff members, affectionately dubbed the HMS Bubble.

While Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have settled in the United States with their two little ones, Archie and Lilibet, they maintain a connection to the UK through Frogmore Cottage.

This residence, also located on the Windsor estate, was transformed from five separate properties into a cozy five-bedroom home in 2019, just in time for the Sussexes to move in.

Another royal neighbor is Prince Andrew, who resides at Royal Lodge with his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson.

Their grand abode, also situated within the Windsor estate, features an impressive 30 rooms and is valued at around £30 million.

It's a luxurious setting for the Duke of York and the Duchess of York as they navigate life post-royalty.

Meanwhile, Prince Edward and Sophie Wessex call Bagshot Park home, along with their two children.

This property was a wedding gift from the Queen in 1999, and it seems they have no intentions of moving anytime soon.

They recently extended their lease from the Crown Estate for an additional 150 years, solidifying their roots.

As for Prince William and Duchess Kate, their decision to move to the countryside is believed to be motivated by a desire to be closer to family.
