Since her discharge from the London Clinic, the princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, is resting and recovering away from the media tumult, dividing her time between Adelaide Cottage and Anmer Hall. These residences, located respectively in Windsor and in Norfolk, offer an idyllic and peaceful setting, essential for her convalescence.
Adelaide Cottage, chosen for its proximity to Windsor Castle, is an architectural gem with a rich history. Built in 1831, the cottage won over the duke and duchess with its intimacy and brightness. The family enjoys almost absolute tranquility there, away from prying eyes, a significant factor for such high-profile individuals.
On the other end, Anmer Hall, located in Norfolk county, serves as a family refuge during school holidays. This property, gifted by Queen Elizabeth II, was entirely renovated under Middleton’s direction, who made sure to create a warm and welcoming environment, perfect for family moments.
The choice of these homes is not random. They reflect William and Kate’s desire to maintain a semblance of normality in their private life. The couple wants to stay within reach of their obligations, at a time of palpable tensions within the family.
The princess recently shared her courageous battle against cancer. These places are for her a haven of peace for her physical healing, but also an indispensable moral support. Surrounded by her family and close friends, she draws from this tranquility the strength to overcome trials.
Let’s hope that these residences, beyond their beauty and comfort, will allow a quick recovery for the young mother.
