Clarence House used to be home to the Queen Mother
King Charles and Queen Camilla, Clarence House
King Charles III and his wife Queen Camilla have use of many regal homes, but Clarence House is their main residence. The townhouse was formerly home to Queen Elizabeth II, then Princess Elizabeth, when the Queen Mother lived there from 1953 until her death in 2002.
Charles has been open about his wonderful memories with his grandmother inside the property, so much so that when he acquired the home, he carried out painstaking renovations carefully to ensure not too much was changed. The royal couple keep their home largely under wraps and often choose to host at Windsor Castle or Buckingham Palace instead.

Prince William and Princess Kate have lived here since 2025
Prince William and Princess Kate, Forest Lodge
In November 2025, the Prince and Princess of Wales moved into Forest Lodge in Windsor – an eight-bedroom home, set in the stunning Windsor Great Park. The family chose to keep the interiors private and does not film inside; instead, it is kept as a ‘normal’ family home to raise their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
Other homes the family has use of include Anmer Hall in Norfolk and Apartment 1A at Kensington Palace, London. They have made no secret of adoring their country retreat up north. “There is nowhere I feel more relaxed, energised and at peace than the British countryside,’ Prince William told Country Life. “I’m lucky to call Norfolk home and I love it there.”

Marsh Farm is a five-bedroom, red-brick farmhouse – a far cry from the grandeur that Andrew will have been used to, but it has been totally renovated ahead of his arrival, including luxury carpets, extensive security measures and the installation of Sky TV.

Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank split their time between Portugal and the UK, after Jack landed a job over there, working for a luxury real estate company. When in England, the couple, along with their two sons, August and Ernest, head to Ivy Cottage on the Kensington Palace grounds. It is humble inside but has a very sweet exterior, complete with a white picket fence.
In Europe, they are said to reside at the CostaTerra Golf & Ocean Club, the location of Jack’s work. The luxury resort is right on the coast and hosts an array of leisurely pastimes like swimming and horse riding.

Beatrice has a grace-and-favour home
Princess Beatrice, St James’s Palace
Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, along with their daughters Sienna and Athena and Edoardo’s son Wolfie, divide their time between the Cotswolds and London. When in the city, St James’s Palace is where they call home. Questions have been raised about whether Eugenie and Beatrice should retain their grace-and-favour homes when they are not working royals.
In the country, their property is a converted farmhouse complete with swimming pool, tennis courts and a guesthouse. While their interiors are kept totally private, we know Edoardo is the CEO of an interior and property brand, Banda Property, so we can only imagine the décor is gorgeous.
