Everyone has been anticipating that Prince Charles will move into Buckingham Palace now that he has advanced to the rank of King Charles. Oh, and that Kate Middleton and Prince William would relocate to Windsor Castle but not really!
Charles is only using Buckingham Palace as the world’s largest workplace while he and Queen Camilla reside in Clarence House because he doesn’t want to move in until it has completed a £369 million makeover, which will take a full five years. While this is happening, Kate and William are not interested in relocating to Windsor because they just relocated their children into the neighbouring Adelaide Cottage and don’t want to further upend their routine. There are no plans for William and Kate to leave Adelaide Cottage, a source informed The Sun, despite prior reports that they will move into Windsor Castle.
From Queen Elizabeth, who spent the week in Buckingham Palace and the weekends in Windsor, this is a significant change. However, because King Charles preferred to dwell at Clarence House, both homes are currently just…sitting there.
Which leads us to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle! The Sun stated that if Prince Harry and Meghan chose to go back to the UK, a vacant Windsor Castle “opens the option of them doing so.” The Sussexes’ intentions to move into Windsor Castle following their wedding were reportedly “previously disappointed” by the fact that they already own Frogmore Cottage, which is located on the grounds of Windsor, according to Katie Nicholl’s The New Royals. While the couple had intended to have a “suite of rooms” in Windsor Castle, Lady Elizabeth Anson informed Nicholl in an article from the Daily Mail that the Queen had instead given Frogmore.
The cottage was significant, according to Lady Elizabeth. Their home is very adjacent to the Queen’s entrance to the grounds. In essence, it serves as her own space, her backyard, and her isolation. By giving Harry and Meghan Frogmore Cottage, she was giving it up. We all believed that she had acted extremely boldly. I hope they’ll respect it, she added.
I’d be so startled if Meghan and Harry returned to England, but I guess we’ll just have to wait and see!
