They may not live in a castle or royal palace, but the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh’s family home at Bagshot Park in Surrey is far from modest.The Grade II- listed mansion was given to the couple by Queen Elizabeth II to commemorate their 1999 wedding, and they are now said to rent it from the Crown Estate for a whopping £90,000 per year.

The house is reportedly worth around £30m in today’s money, and royal biographer Ingrid Seward tells us, “It’s got 120 rooms, a private lake and stables, and there are 51 acres of land.

Edward and Sophie have renewed the lease from the Crown Estate for another 150 years, so it’s obviously their forever home.” Located 11 miles south of Windsor and lying within the designated area of Windsor Great Park, the ultra-secluded property was constructed in 1879, following the demolition of several existing lodges on the site.

It was built for Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn, the third son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Official records from that time show there were 26 servants living in the main house, as well as four valets, a cook, three footmen and at least nine maids.
