Okay, the most famous resident these days is Prince William and his family. Before they moved to Adelaide Cottage in Windsor, William and Kate—along with George, Charlotte, and Louis—called Apartment 1A at the palace home. Fancy address, right?
But here’s the kicker: that apartment is a massive four-story, 20-room pad that used to house the Queen’s sister, Princess Margaret. Can you imagine the carpet stains from Margaret’s late-night parties? William and Kate have two kitchens, a private garden, and a nanny’s quarters. (Note: my “nanny” still hasn’t arrived. I’m starting to suspect Amazon lost her.)
The Eccentric Epilogue: Princess Anne’s Office & The Princess Royal
Just around the corner, Princess Anne keeps a low-key office and official residence in the palace. She’s famously no-nonsense—the kind of woman who personally answers her own mail and tells the staff to “get on with it.”
You’ll rarely see her lounging around the courtyard, but trust me, she’s there, probably reminding someone that her horse jumped higher than yours. Fun fact: Anne’s apartment is called “The Wren House,” and it comes with a frigidly formal dining room. I bet she eats her cereal there in her pajamas. (A woman after my own heart.)
