Rome, 16 April 2024 – La Princess Katebeing treated for cancer, would be better off in a bigger house, but William hesitates to renovate so as not to end up in the vortex of criticism that has already hit him regarding public funding for the royal house. According to the Mirror the prince has decided to pay in person a possible renovation of the beloved cottage of Anmer Hall, already the couple’s refuge in the past.
The Anmer Hall Annex
Anmer Hall is one little known annexe not far from their home, theAdelaide Cottage in Windsor, in Berkshire. Classic style in red bricks for the princess, under chemo, it could be ideal, also it is larger than the Adelaide Cottage, which only has 4 bedrooms, and is isolated on the Sandringham estate.
The Princes of Wales moved to Berkshire towards the end of summer 2022. Kate has recently expressed her desire to live Anmer Hall, while Adelaide Cottage is ideal due to its proximity to Lambrook School, attended by their children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. While her annex would be more remote and isolated, it would provide her with a peaceful environment in which to manage her therapy. William, however, “aware of public scrutiny” of royal expenses, is taking his time, and is considering taking on the expenses for the renovation of Anmer Hall, thus avoiding unnecessary controversy for the Windsors.
William meanwhile he will return to royal duties and public commitments, suspended after Princess Kate’s cancer announcement on Thursday.
