Not longer after they met as young students at the University of St Andrews, they moved into a small two-storey, four-bedroom Edwardian townhouse in the heart of the historic city.

Fighting to help the homeless has been a major part of his life’s work, and last week Prince William said, “We shouldn’t be living with homelessness in the 21st century.” This fervent belief was instilled in the prince from a young age, and was the spark behind him launching Homewards in 2023 – a five-year programme that aims to demonstrate that “it is possible to end homelessness – making it rare, brief and unrepeated”.

A four-bedroom cottage in the Home Counties might seem like a rather unlikely choice for a future monarch and his wife, but Adelaide Cottage – the Prince and Princess of Wales’ primary residence – fits the bill perfectly.The two-storey house, in the grounds of 655-acre Windsor Home Park and just a 10-minute walk from Windsor Castle, has been their main home since they moved out of their palatial apartment, 1A Kensington Palace, in 2022. Although fairly modest by royal standards, for William and Kate, both 42, it has proven to be the perfect place in which to raise their three children – Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six.
