Prince William and Princess Kate have resided at Adelaide Cottage since 2022, choosing Windsor over their former London life to be able to give their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis a ‘normal’ life

The design element also has a very unique back story as it actually came from the original Royal Lodge, which was deconstructed in 1830. As well as the veranda, other parts the 1831 cottage inherited from the lodge were the roof tiles, chimney and even windows.

There were also features taken from an old royal yacht for ornamental decoration inside the property. It sounds like quite the emporium!
