Royal couple leave Kensington Palace home | Royal | News | Express.co.uk

The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester have lived in Kensington Palace since their marriage in 1972 and raised all three of their children in the royal residence. Kensington Palace has been a royal residence for over 300 years, it was where Princess Diana lived and it is now the London home to Prince William and Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, and their three children Prince George, 5, Princess Charlotte, 4, and Prince Louis, 1. The Queen's cousin and his wife will still be neighbours to the Cambridges as the Duke and Duchess will only be moving a short distance to the Old Stables, also in Kensington Palace, which will cost ?400,000 to refurbish, according to the sovereign grant annual report.

The necessary work that is required before the couple move in includes the following

The report explained: ?The scheme allows for the complete refurbishment of the property including the old and failing mechanical and electrical systems.

"The project commenced in January 2019 and is due for completion in summer 2019."

The Gloucesters are still living in Apartment 1, but will be downsizing to the renovated Old Stables property in the coming year, an insider told Hello! Magazine.

The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester have three grown-up children who have flown the nest so it is natural the couple have decided to move to a smaller home.

This is faster than I thought would happen.  So my curiosity is stronger to know who will take that apartment.

I am  also curious about who will be he Cambridge nearest neighbors.  I'm searching for any photographs of the "Old Stables", also.  Work was scheduled to be completed right about now, so they should be moving soon.

[wannable]

I believe they Gloucester's already moved.  With the latest story and the source being the ex-con who delivered a truck load of furniture to the DOC's...the only thing needed was open the 'connecting' door and you have a 40 plus room apartment.

[Blue Clover]

They are moving on - Apt. 1 was probably too large for them.

I suppose it makes sense - they are likely to be housed there for a long, long time.
