Okay, remember Frogmore Cottage? That was Harry and Meghan’s UK bolt-hole. It’s empty now. And it’s literally on the Windsor estate. William could just… take it.
But here’s the drama: Frogmore is cursed. Or at least, it feels that way. Harry had a huge renovation. Then he left. Would William want that kind of karma? Probably not.
So what about Fort Belvedere? That’s the posh, historic castle where Edward VIII lived. It’s a bit too “twisty-turny” for modern family life, though. You’d spend all day hunting for the kids.
Anmer Hall: The Real Playground
Don’t forget Anmer Hall! That’s their country escape in Norfolk. It’s a ten-bedroom Georgian mansion with a pool and a tennis court. Perfect for hide-and-seek.
Kate and William live in £624m 'hottest' royal home Kensington Palace
They’ve spent years there during lockdowns. The kids love it. The neighbors mind their own business. It’s practically idyllic. But can you really raise future monarchs in the middle of nowhere?
William’s job as Prince of Wales demands he’s near London. That’s the rub. He needs a base in the capital, but he wants fresh air. Classic royal conundrum.
