Following their top-secret holiday in Kefalonia, Kate Middleton and Prince William are planning to switch houses. According to the Mail on Sunday, the Adelaide villa would be too small for the Prince and Princess of Wales, who could move to a castle, Fort Belvedere, a historic residence that has always been neglected by the royal family.
Kate and William are said to be looking for a larger home than Adelaide Cottage, but not too far away. The Fort, as the castle is commonly known, would be ideal, as it is located in Windsor Great Park, which also includes Windsor Castle, Adelaide Cottage and Frogmore Cottage. Fort Belvedere was built by King George II in 1820 and is where Edward VIII, Queen Elizabeth II's uncle, lived before he ascended the throne and where he signed his abdication papers in 1936.
The fortress is an old manor house, complete with a swimming pool, tennis court and Turkish bath, and more recently a polo field. According to The Sun, the original 30-40 rooms have now been expanded to include eight bedrooms. The residence would be convenient for Kate and William and is also close to their children's school, Lambrook. But the Prince and Duchess of Wales are considering several options, including Royal Lodge, currently occupied by Prince Andrew, or part of Windsor Castle. According to the Daily, the move is not imminent, so Middleton and Prince William have all summer to plan the perfect solution for their family.
