Prince William and Kate Middleton, who made their significant move from Kensington Palace to Windsor in 2022, are now preparing for a new decision regarding their family home. Currently residing at Adelaide Cottage in the sprawling Windsor Great Park, the Prince and Princess of Wales, along with their three children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—are considering expanding their living space.
Adelaide Cottage: A Modest Home for the Royal Family
The four-bedroom Adelaide Cottage, built in 1831, has been renovated several times to accommodate the needs of the Wales family. Despite the renovations, the cottage remains humble compared to royal palace standards. Located within the picturesque Windsor Great Park, the home provides a peaceful retreat for the family, but the couple is now looking to add more space.
Plans to Renovate the Abandoned Outhouse
The Prince and Princess of Wales have plans to renovate an “abandoned” outhouse on the property, which had previously been deemed “uninhabitable.” According to The Mirror, the couple intends to transform this outhouse into an annexe-style property to provide additional space for their growing family.
Delays Due to Busy Schedules and Health Concerns

The idea for the renovation has been discussed for some time, but it was delayed due to the busy schedules of Prince William and Kate, as well as Kate’s health. Last year, Kate’s cancer diagnosis led to the decision to put the renovation plans on hold as the family focused on health and well-being. Now that the Princess of Wales is feeling better, it seems that the family is revisiting the project and moving forward with their plans.
No Details on the Renovation Plans Yet
While the couple is keen to create more space for their family, no further details on the renovation plans have been disclosed. It remains to be seen how the property will be transformed, but the renovation of the outhouse seems to be the next step in making their Windsor home even more suitable for their needs.
With the family’s recent focus on privacy and peaceful living, the renovation marks a new chapter in the Wales family’s life as they continue to settle into their home in Windsor.
