Overview

• Kensington Palace has neither confirmed nor denied speculation that the Wales family might leave their four-bedroom Adelaide Cottage for Fort Belvedere.
• Observers cite limited room for Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis at Adelaide Cottage as the catalyst behind relocation talk.
• Fort Belvedere is a Grade II-listed, 18th-century Gothic-Revival estate in Windsor Great Park with up to eight bedrooms, a pool and tennis courts added by past tenants.
• Royal expert Jennie Bond and other analysts highlight the couple’s priority on a relaxed, ordinary upbringing and question if a castle-like home fits that aim.
• Some commentators note William’s Duchy of Cornwall income could fund a private purchase or alternative properties such as Royal Lodge, though no plan is confirmed.
