Princess Diana famously lived in Kensington Palace after moving in with Prince Charles in 1981 after their royal wedding. It is just minutes away from Buckingham Palace and St. James’s Palace, which is handy for family visits, and it is surrounded by large green spaces. The Palace is also close to many London landmarks, including Big Ben, the British Museum, and St Paul’s Cathedral.
They live in the spacious Apartment 1A, which used to belong to Princess Margaret.
Kate and William spent £4.5million renovating the apartment, as well as hundreds of thousands more of their personal money on additions such as a second family kitchen.
They moved out of the Kensington abode in 2013 shortly after the birth of Prince George, choosing to move to Anmer Hall in Norfolk to raise their children in a more private location.
But the family officially moved back to Kensington Palace full-time in 2017, in order to dedicate themselves to their royal duties.
