Kate and William are moving! … to Kensington Palace
It’s official! Princess William and Kate, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, will move into his Aunt Princess Margaret’s former apartments in Kensington Palace. The Queen has intervened personally and allocated £ 1mm to help remodel the the 4-story, 20 room apartment where many rooms are still painted in Princess Margaret’s favourite colors pink and turquoise.
The Royal couple are currently living in Nottingham College on the grounds of Kensington Palace
Willkate, as the couple are affectionately called, have been living in a 2 bedroom cottage on the grounds of Kensington Palace called Nottingham Cottage. William had originally suggested his mother Princess Diana’s apartment, Number 8, where he lived from birth to 1998, but the couple felt it held too many memories. Now those rooms are being used as office space for Prince Charles.
