Fans Moved To Tears Over William & Catherine’s UNEXPECTED Decision About Their Adelaide Cottage
Welcome back to our website, where we share updates and untold stories about Catherine, Princess of Wales, and her royal family. Today, we explore how a simple photo can cause such a royal ruckus, shedding light on the lives of the Prince and Princess of Wales as they raise their young family at Adelaide Cottage.
The Prince and Princess of Wales are said to be very happy raising their young family at Adelaide Cottage, the candy-pink, four-bedroom home on the Windsor Castle estate that they have lived in since 2022. This Grade II listed home has proven to be a place of peace and solitude for Princess Catherine, who has spent a significant amount of time at home in recent months, shielding from the spotlight as she continues her ongoing treatment for cancer.
New details have emerged about their decision to forgo the usual royal trend of live-in staff. Since 2022, when they swapped London for Windsor, this choice has remained a point of curiosity. According to sources, the Wales home has seven gated entrances and exits to Windsor Castle, allowing the family to come and go without worrying about being photographed. With just four bedrooms, it is considered relatively small by royal standards and provides no space for a full-time nanny.
The Princess of Wales recently shared an endearing snapshot of their youngest kids, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, enjoying a cozy evening at home as the little royals cheered on the England team during the Euro’s final match against Spain. It wasn’t just their adorable football enthusiasm that caught everyone’s eye, but also their unexpectedly modest living room at Adelaide Cottage.
In the snap, Charlotte and Louis, clad in football shirts, comfortably nestled on a deep green sofa in front of the TV—a tiny TV, quite a small telly. One royal fan remarked, and another chimed in, expressing how relatable and heartwarming it was to see this private moment from home.
With all the grandeur of Buckingham Palace, Balmoral, Sandringham, and Windsor Castle, royal fans were surprised by the modest size of their TV and their seemingly humble surroundings in general. Imagine the Wales family enjoying a simpler, more intimate setting with a surprisingly small TV. So, next time you’re relaxing on your sofa, remember that even the royals enjoy a cozy, humble evening at home—and who knows, maybe they too squabble over the remote now and then.
Adelaide Cottage is nestled in the heart of the 655-acre Windsor estate and offers four bedrooms. The royal abode was originally built for Queen Adelaide, and according to the Royal Collection, it was constructed using materials from the Royal Lodge, the current residence of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson. In 2015, the cottage underwent renovations, previously featuring a Greco-Egyptian marble fireplace and a master bedroom with a ceiling painted with dolphins.
Their previous home at Kensington Palace was more typically lavish, allowing the family to enjoy a London life from their 20-room, four-story apartment. The property, which overlooks Hyde Park, previously belonged to Princess Margaret and boasted five reception rooms, three main bedrooms, dressing rooms, a night and day nursery, and staff quarters. Modern additions to the property include underfloor heating, encrypted Wi-Fi, a TV projector, and a panic room.
When not kicking back at Adelaide Cottage or heading back to their London apartment after business in the city, the Wales family can be found at their country residence, Anmer Hall, in Norfolk. The property was acquired by the Sandringham estate shortly after it was purchased by Queen Victoria. William and Catherine inherited Anmer Hall as a wedding gift from Queen Elizabeth.
