One of the lesser-known homes in the royal portfolio is Bagshot Park which has been home to Prince Edward and the Countess of Wessex since they married in 1999. The 57-room home, that is set within 87 acres of land, is estimated to be worth £30m.
Because it was just 11 miles from Windsor Castle it meant that the Wessex family were close to the Queen and Prince Philip. In an interview with Sky News Sophie said it meant their children, Lady Louise and Viscount Severn, would have tea with their grandparents on a regular basis.
The Prince and Princess of Wales also now live nearby at Adelaide Cottage, in the grounds of Windsor, with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. William and Kate on Tuesday made their first visit to Wales since taking on their new titles.
