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.
The Grade-II listed home has proven to be a place of peace and solitude for Princess Kate, 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.
Per the Daily Mail, a source revealed that the Wales’ home has “seven gated entrances and exits to Windsor Castle” so the family can come and go without worrying about being photographed.
While the Wales family home remains a private and secluded property for Kate and William to raise Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, nine and Prince Louis, five, a mysterious property resides practically on their doorstep… but who lives there?
According to Historic England, the public body which cares for England’s historic buildings and places, Adelaide Cottage is a two-storey stucco-faced dwelling with elaborate pierced bargeboards, drip moulds and casement windows.
It was formerly known as Adelaide Lodge, incorporating part of architect John Nash’s original Royal Lodge, originally built for the Prince Regent.
Now, Adelaide Cottage sits next to an eerie and empty Adelaide Lodge, which is currently abandoned and inhabitable due to problems with it not being underpinned.
Underpinning is a construction method used to support buildings that have been affected by subsidence or other structural issues, meaning the Lodge must be unfit for safe living conditions without it.
