I remember visiting Princess Margaret’s apartments when they housed Princess Diana’s dresses and looking at the skirting boards and paintwork it was distinctly shabby !
For a townhouse, it may be impossible to find a better place than Kensington Palace. It's even more enjoyable than Buckingham Palace. In the best city quarter, with Albert Hall just a small walk through your own garden, and close to the best hotels and shops, and Hyde Park in front of you. No wonder Kate smiles so much. William was already used to all of this from birth onward.
I am so happy that William is the first-born son and our future King. I am terrified to think what Harkles would do to this historic building… likely destroying the whole thing to build something tasteless a-la Montecito style with golden bath tubs. 😳
Harry will destroy everything as he gets his hands on just like Invictus. no veterans are asvertised. It's become a fashion🖕🏽n show, like how he destroyed his relationship with his own blood.
The lazy twits who barely did enough duties and left it to the elderly relatives to do the most. For years they swanned about on holidays, tried to do a flying job and futies as the queen was getting into her 80s and still not pulling their weight pre cancer diagnosis. The pair are apparently "anxious" about realising they'll be king and queen as Charles and his cancer had them worried. Both in their 40s and "anxious" yet Elizabeth was 25 and did her role. It dhows even more the farce of "royalty" in the modern world and the twits shouldn't be crowned.
You must take a tour inside, it is very much a palace. Will and Kate's personal apartment is warm and cozy but there are huge places rooms and works of art. It's amazing.
Beautiful apartment, money well spent as it's a joy and glory for many years to come. They are happy couple and have built a warm and inviting home for their family and guests. 1A is that not the family home of the previous Wales' also. The gardens are sumptuous i could live their happily. well done for an educational & great video I salute you!
Everyone loves those two, and their beautiful, charismatic children. As opposed to the *other* ones who are despised everywhere, mocked, and even called grifters. They have to keep their children hidden, knowing they'll never compete with Catherine and William's
It is exactly how you envisage an apartment is. It has a communal space which can be frequented by other family or staff or guests, then there is a main door to the apartment. So if you wanted to knock for William, you would first need to get in the main house, then wait, and then he will go down stairs to collect you and he will take you to his apartment where you can sit in the drawing room. If you are not a special guest, or he doesn't trust you he can take you to another place within the building that is a drawing room.
I'm sure they wouldn't want to allow too detailed a tour for security reasons. I'm just an ordinary person, far from royalty, and I still wouldn't want to put a detailed layout of my home (or enough information that a close study of what's revealed might provide a good sense of that layout) where I have no control over who might watch it, much less know if they might try to use that information. To me, this gives enough of a glimpse into their private lives to satisfy curiosity, without needlessly endangering them.
Right. I’ve commented elsewhere that this piece is a poor attempt at journalism. It’s clickbait, to be truthful. Looking for that advertising remuneration.
It was built in the 17th century for Royalty so of course it’s not going to suit an average person’s taste. Yet William and Kate have managed to make it as warm and homely as possible for modern day living considering its ornate features. They also have a home in the country where they spend a lot of time which is smaller and more family friendly.
@@bellabana all due respect, that depends on the average person. When i go by or into what used to be a very OLD house or a building that has been “re-purposed”, i always wonder, “what was this room used for when this building was original?”
@@robertandhollyscorpiofan2697 well William and Kate don’t have to wonder as the features from that century still exist all around them. Adding new wiring, plumbing and modern day furnishings to coexist with centuries old pieces gives them the best of both worlds.

When I had the honour of attending an event at Kensington I was surprised at how uninspiring it was. The floors all creaked (even under the padding of carpets).

What a JEWEL OF A LADY WILLIAM CHOSE !! THANK GOD WILLIAM WAS FIRSTBORN !! Harry would have made a trailer park out of it !! Megan would sell off artwork for the MONEY! A garage sale no doubt !!
Forget about Kensington, the whole of the UK is ghost town. I have had experiences in England and Scotland that I have never had anywhere else in the world, and I have lived in nine different countries. Wellington College only, in Crowthorne, is packed; to the point where I actually had to acknowledge it and ask them for some peace, so I could sleep.
A very nice place it was also the place where. Harry and William mom lived after her divorce from Bonnie prince Charlie for a time being! Looking at prince William sitting behind that desk doing E-mails. He looks a whole like his Great great. Grandfather king George. VI cica 1939!
Yes, well…they are extremely wealthy. I liked the remark in ‘The Crown’ where Elizabeth says to William something like, ‘We protect our Number Ones, but not our Number Twos.’ Meaning, ‘take care of your brother’.
Princess Diana she would have been very proud of Prince William Prince Harry and the Beautiful wife Princess of Wales in beautiful duchess Megan❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
10 min video. 5:21 before we see a single pic. sigh. If I wanted a history lesson, I wouldn't be here. But from what we could see, it matches what I thought - classy, elegant, but not at all stuffy. Just like Kate.
I disliked seeing the back of photographs on the sofa table. Those should be placed elsewhere or framed differently. Otherwise, I like the comfortable home warmth of the room. No doubt, with 20 rooms, there are more formal entertainment rooms too,

Prince William and Duchess Kate Middleton 💕 💕
Good show!
A very nice place it was also the place where. Harry and William mom lived after her divorce from Bonnie prince Charlie for a time being! Looking at prince William sitting behind that desk doing E-mails. He looks a whole like his Great great. Grandfather king George. VI cica 1939!
Apparently they dug up a full basement as added living space.
Bravo!
Very nice impressive❤❤
Stunning apartment cannot even help Kate now
Beautiful
Souls needing prayer.
Princess Margaret's first husband??? and Kate and William have broken with tradition and share a bedroom - surely not?
Will I sould hope that you live peaceful and kindness always.
There's vanishingly little of the apartment in this video.
Yes, well…they are extremely wealthy. I liked the remark in ‘The Crown’ where Elizabeth says to William something like, ‘We protect our Number Ones, but not our Number Twos.’ Meaning, ‘take care of your brother’.
And #500: the people they steal from.
It's not true, you know. It's just a made-up TV series with some elements of truth. You must be American 😮
The UK, the kings domain
Princess Diana she would have been very proud of Prince William Prince Harry and the Beautiful wife Princess of Wales in beautiful duchess Megan❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
10 min video. 5:21 before we see a single pic. sigh. If I wanted a history lesson, I wouldn't be here. But from what we could see, it matches what I thought - classy, elegant, but not at all stuffy. Just like Kate.
I disliked seeing the back of photographs on the sofa table. Those should be placed elsewhere or framed differently. Otherwise, I like the comfortable home warmth of the room. No doubt, with 20 rooms, there are more formal entertainment rooms too,
They weren’t for you to see though
So unkind.
Princess Margaret only ever had one husband.
the Historic was modern to their time, now its old and antique. We all want to live modern. So
Very old fashioned for a young couple. Could easily see the Queen and Prince Phillip loving it here ... were they still alive of course.
Regal, classy, classic, timeless. But if you had any breeding you would know this.
The Ghosts are family, so it is okay. Some furniture reminds me of my friend's apartment.
Salute... Preserve His love... 🌐❤️
The day i decided to visit it was closed same as windsor castle. It's ok the third one will be open. God Willing.
Not much shown of the apartment.
At 7:33, it looks like Queen Victoria (in the painting) is wearing Diana’s famous engagement ring,was hers a family heirloom?
