Kate Middleton and Prince William used to live in a luxurious home at Kensington Palace, but according to one royal expert, the couple "surprised a lot of people" when they decided to pack up and move to Windsor in 2022. While it was largely reported that Kate and William wanted to be closer to Queen Elizabeth, who was living at Windsor Castle at the time, it turns out the move made sense for a number of other reasons.
The Prince and Princess of Wales now reside at Adelaide Cottage, a nearly 200-year-old property that was built as a summer retreat for Queen Adelaide in 1831, per Architectural Digest. With just four bedrooms and no staff accommodations, it's much smaller than their four-story KP residence, which includes a massive 20 rooms.
