William and Catherine’s Surprising Sleeping Setup at Kensington Palace

The Prince and Princess of Wales have unique sleeping arrangements at Kensington Palace, and not something you might expect. Unlike most people, they don’t sleep upstairs. Their bedroom is located on the ground floor of Apartment A1 within Kensington Palace, their former official London residence.

The vast property, previously occupied by Princess Margaret, has 20 rooms across four floors, including a gym, a lift, and nine staff rooms. Kensington Palace, built around three courtyards, resembles connected red-brick terrace houses.

Today, William and Kate permenantly reside in Adelaide Cottage, in Windsor, with their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and of course, Prince Louis. The charming four-bedroom home, part of the Crown Estate, was built in 1831 for Queen Adelaide, the wide of King William IV using building materials from the Royal Lodge.

Adelaide Cottage has a rich history: Queen Victoria had breakfast there, and Group Captain Peter Townsend, famous for his romance with Princess Margaret, once called it home. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle almost took residence in Adelaide Cottage, but opted for Frogmore Cottage before quitting the UK entirely.

While I do love all the Wales, any particular reason we need to know the exact location of where they sleep/slept in Kensington Palace? I just want them safe and sleeping safe and sound. I think Adelaide Cottage is a beautiful and intimate home for a family to bond together and be one. Blessings to TRHs The Wales.

[truth-lgxy]

Something very un British about prying into the royals sleeping arrangements ❤

[carmenbyrne]

How wise is it to actually delineate exactly where they have there bedroom, even if they're living elsewhere?

Catherine the Princess of Wales is UK’s jewel in the crown - the multifaceted solitaire of the royal family. Her elegance in in dress and manner her natural dignity of carrying herself in any situation and her genuine empathy for people & animals that takes preference over her royal status - Catherine is the true meaning of what class is - England you are lucky to have her look after her well as she will attract not only tourists and dignitaries from all over the world but will be an inspiration for women across all spectrums.
Please do not undermine Catherine by Comparing her to that alley cat Meghan even if you are paid to do so
Best wishes From a citizen of India
