A four-bedroom home is nothing to slouch at and, to many, would seem like the peak of homebuying success. But not all of us are the Prince and Princess of Wales—and when Prince William, his wife Princess Kate, and their three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis moved from Kensington Palace to Adelaide Cottage in Windsor late last summer, many looked at it as a downgrade, reports The Daily Express. And William—who turns 41 today and grew up in literal palaces—has embraced it.
“Adelaide Cottage is a charming home on the grounds of Windsor Castle and will no doubt provide a lovely base for the family,” said interior design specialist Sophie Smith. “While it may seem small after living in Kensington Palace, the home is still a good size and surrounded by parkland and greenery, so the children will all have immediate access to nature, which is great for overall wellbeing.”
