British Royals: Royal move: New home for William and Kate

The British heir to the throne Prince William and his wife Princess Kate (both 43) move. This was said by a spokesman for the Kensington Palace of the British news agency PA. Accordingly, the couple changes with his three children, Prince George (12), Princess Charlotte (10) and Prince Louis (7), within the extensive area around Windsor Castle.

So far, the heir to the throne has lived in the elegant but comparatively modest estate Adelaide Cottage, which was built in 1831 for King William IV’s wife, Queen Adelaide. In the future, they should live in the more generous Forest Lodge. It is a significantly more representative building with eight bedrooms. One could also speak of a small castle.

Not the only home of the Wales family

The spokesman did not say exactly when the move should take place. However, he should take place this year. According to the “The Sun” boulevard newspaper, William and Kate pay out of his own pocket for the renovation work that has already started on the listed building, which is said to be worth around £ 16 million (around 18.5 million euros).

This should not be difficult for the Wales family. With the role of the heir to the throne, William also took over the real estate, property and plant portfolio Duchy of Cornwall, which has a billion pound (around £ 1.16 billion).

The property in Windsor is not your only home, but the most important thing since the three children visited the nearby Lambrook School. William and Kate also have the luxurious apartment 1a in the Kensington Palace in London and the Landhaus Anmer Hall in the eastern English county of Norfolk.
