Princess Beatrice and her grandmother Queen Elizabeth II always had a special relationship. Case in point: the princess wore the queen's actual wedding tiara at her own nuptials. The queen even reportedly had a hand in helping name Beatrice, with Elizabeth vetoing the original choice, Princess Annabel. As a result, it's perhaps unsurprising that the queen totally spoiled Beatrice by gifting her a mansion when she turned 9 in 1997.
According to The Sun, Queen Elizabeth decided to gift Birch Hall, a Grade II-listed mansion in the village of Windlesham in Surrey, to Beatrice and her sister Princess Eugenie. At the time, the property was reportedly worth £1.5 million (approximately $1.9 million), but the valuation has since ballooned. When the house was sold in 2016, it traded hands for $6.1 million, according to AOL. The incredible property features seven bedrooms, four bathrooms, a heated pool, and a tennis court, as well as a small cottage for staff to reside on the grounds.
