Overview

• The Prince and Princess of Wales say their four-bedroom Adelaide Cottage no longer meets their family’s needs for space and privacy.
• Their preferred new home is Fort Belvedere, the 18th-century gothic-revival mansion in Windsor Great Park that bears Edward VIII’s legacy as the site of his 1936 abdication.
• The 59-acre estate offers private amenities including an outdoor swimming pool, a tennis court, landscaped gardens and staff cottages.
• Earlier options such as Royal Lodge and a wing of Windsor Castle have been ruled out as unviable by royal sources.
• Despite active evaluations, the couple emphasize that Adelaide Cottage remains their home and no move is planned in the immediate future.
