According to a senior royal source who was speaking to ABC News, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge want to give their children as normal an upbringing as possible and are hoping for more privacy. They are also moving so that they will be closer to the Queen, who recently moved to Windsor Castle full-time as well as to Middleton’s parents, Michael and Carole Middleton, who live in Bucklebury.
That said, the Cambridges will be keeping their home and offices at Kensington Palace and their country home of Anmer Hall in Norfolk.
As the world’s most famous royal family moves to Adelaide Cottage, here’s an inside look at what their new home will look like as well as the rich history behind the cottage.
Located on the grounds of Windsor Great Park, Adelaide Cottage is one filled with a rich history. Built in 1831 by Sir Jeffry Wyatville, the cottage was originally a teahouse for Queen Adelaide.
During Queen Victoria’s reign, it was turned into a gorgeous and luxurious guesthouse. The cottage reportedly held a similar status to Frogmore House (where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reside when they are in town).
In 1941, Adelaide Cottage was once again rebranded and became known as a grace-and-favour home. This was a term used to describe houses owned by the Queen that she can lend out to royal family members or staff.
