After the recent abdominal surgery that led Princess Kate Middleton to spend two weeks in the hospital, the royal couple has opted for the tranquility of their home at Adelaide Cottage, located in the peaceful grounds of Windsor.
Since their move almost two years ago, the residence has been the refuge chosen by the couple to enjoy a more relaxed life surrounded by nature.
The mansion, built in 1831, was originally intended as a retreat for Queen Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen, wife of William IV. With its distinctive pastel pink façade and just 10 minutes from the private apartments of Windsor Castle, Adelaide Cottage has witnessed historic moments, including the scandalous romance between Captain Peter Townsend and Princess Margaret.
The property, which retains original features despite a renovation in 2015, has four bedrooms and an extensive garden, fulfilling Kate’s wish to raise her three children in a natural environment. Compared to Kensington Palace, it is a more welcoming and personal home.
According to the information provided, Princess Middleton has been discharged and is at home with her family in Windsor. During her convalescence, she has had the constant support of her husband, children, brothers and parents, who have remained by her side at all times.
The Royal House announced that Kate’s evolution is favorable, and it is expected that in a month she will be able to resume her official commitments. The choice of Adelaide Cottage as a place of recovery underlines the importance of this home for the royal family, where tranquility and connection with nature become allies in times of delicate health. The royal couple has found in this refuge a new stage of serenity and well-being, surrounded by trees and the affection of their loved ones.
