Life at Windsor's Adelaide Cottage has just become even more interesting for the Prince and Princess of Wales. The royal couple, who moved into the charming four-bedroom home to provide a more normal upbringing for their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, are welcoming some surprising new neighbours.
The prestigious Crown Estate Bachelors' Acre, a grand property located a mere stone's throw from William and Kate's residence, has secured a significant new tenant. This development places a new household right next door to the future King and Queen.
A Property Steeped in History
The neighbouring property, Bachelors' Acre, is no ordinary building. It holds a unique place in British history, famously leased by the government for a nominal £1 per year. This historic arrangement has just been renewed in a deal that underscores the property's ongoing importance to the nation.
The new tenancy signals a continued official presence in the area, bringing a new dynamic to the royal neighbourhood within the Windsor Home Park estate.
Seeking a Normal Life in Windsor
The Wales's choice of Adelaide Cottage was a deliberate move away from the grandeur of Kensington Palace. They sought a more down-to-earth environment for their young family, with the children attending the local Lambrook School.
This latest development adds a fresh chapter to their life in Windsor, ensuring their day-to-day experience remains intertwined with both historical legacy and modern officialdom. The comings and goings next door are now set to be a permanent feature of their home life.
