Inside William And Kate's Stunning Kensington Palace Apartment
It might be called an apartment, but it’s anything but. The Kensington Palace Apartment where William, Kate, and their children live is a fairly large slice of high-class luxury, given to them as a gift by the Queen herself. The residence dates far back to the 17th century, and with every new resident, the residence undergoes a new set of renovations unique to the inhabitants.
So, what have the newest Royals done to the legendary building? It’s relatively rare to get a good look inside of the modern-day Royal living situation, but here’s what we know about what goes on inside William and Kate’s stunning Kensington Palace Apartment.

What do you think of their apartment?
what utter rubbish, the only thing that is known about their apartment is from the photos released when the Obama's visited and charities do not have offices in any of the Palaces
didn't see that much
Didn't even see anything
Isn’t this the garden where Diana’s statue stands?
What apartment? All I see a castle
"...broken with tradition and share the same bedroom." I imagine that is the most appropriate tradition to break. Lovely renovation.
I couldn’t have a separate bedroom, nope.
Depends on the loudness of the partner snoring and the amount of blanket hogging .😂
Agree!
Lap of luxury
if the same was told about Meghan and Harry everyone would lash at them.
I would love to live in an apartment community like that to enjoy and help preserve such a historical place.
I would like to have 9 upstairs room for the help! ☺️
I hope and pray that every African nation and nations with people of color file lawsuits for reparations from the Royal families and Western nations every day to the coming again of JESUS CHRIS 🙏.
There are few of them. You have to belong to the " clan"......
I love how it's called an apartment, I get the definition of it but it's actually a mansion.😃
I'd be like:" Whoa, this is a mansion inside of a mansion!"🤣
The palace is divided in several apartments, and many royals have their own.
This building look’s like more of a mansion,than an ‘actual apartment’to me?It must be really nice to live there?My apartment is okay,but….if I had a building like this,well…boy!I’d stay there forever!Add some house 🏡 keeper’s,and I’d be just fine living there!😊😊😊😊😊😊
I think it’s wonderful that The Prince of Wales has lived at KP his whole life.
It's divided into several apartments as other members of the Royal family also live there
I thought their apartment looked very warm and inviting. I could definitely put my feet up on the huge ottoman and read a book or watch a movie. I just love William and Kate (American here) and wish them all the best.
Hello American.
Amerykanka możesz im tylko buty czyścić😂😂😂
That’s so disrespectful, AnnaDuda.
@annaDuda, rude! Did your nanny not instruct you on the finer points of etiquette? As an American, we were taught that if you don't have a nice😮 thing to say to or about something or somebody, don't say anything at all.
@BrendaLR-uf4lf lol...annaduda probably lives in a housing project!!
The garden is gorgeous! How wonderful it would be to look out on that everyday!
So glad that they keep things historic. . Stunning beautiful 😍❤
The celebration that’ll come with their crowning will be glorious. They are such a great way forward.
You can’t be serious?? There’s no hope for British people. They are royals. They have no impact on your future., they cut ribbons & turn up to concerts, and movies. They are a ridiculous waste of money., Britain is falling to bits. Every aspect of it, And you can’t wait for Wils and Kate to go Live in another palace., Right 👍🏻 Got it 👍🏻 And spend a few more dozens of million pounds on yet another coronation., ???
I do think from this it is such a beautiful place for the lovely King and Queen as well as for their children to grown up. May God bless them to be happy in their castle with their lovely children and that our God bless them every second of each day. Prince William you were born to be a King. The best of the bests. 🙏 🙏 🤴
He will be king when his father dies and only then. It is a palace not a castle
P
And he is a king to me.
Don't be in a hurry! He'll have to wait a bit!
Prince William, if the Royals history of longevity runs true, won’t be king for another 20 years! That means he and the Princess of Wales won’t be King and Queen until they are in their 60’s!
So gorgeous, a palace though historic, filled with elegance and subtlety!!
They're moving to Adelaide Cottage in Windsor! And Princess Margaret only married once so this "first husband" comment makes no sense.
More unprofessional journalism by the creators of this piece. Please do your research.
Yes, it was her only husband.
Lady Diana would be so proud of her son and his beautiful family.
Agreed
Wouldn't she!! Smashing man and cant belive he has that gorgeous katherine..our history is in good hands...
@@jennydonnelly4436 it Catherine! Even Prince William calls her Catherine.
One of them at least
Cant speak for the dead. A s s h o l e
What great grounds for the children to play and explore.
Sense of home and a loving family.
Inbred welfare mamas.
Indeed.
Stunning 😍💙
I’m waiting on Williams plan to end homelessness. I’m so glad he’s taking this huge problem on. No one should be homeless in this day and age.
Ridiculous.
It’s beautiful. Prince William and princess Catherine have it beautiful
I didn't see the inside of their apartment?? This was just a montage of found pics.... click bait
always
May we all fulfil our divinely alloted portions in life
Wow stunning beautiful. I love gardening and gardens . They and there children will love it.
Beautiful apartment and very elegant.....
Thank you for the tour.
It’s so beautiful they did a great job ❤❤😊😊
Beautiful!! Just beautiful!
I would love this! But William and Katherine broke tradition and share the same bedroom??
Yup. Back in the day royal couples would have their own bedrooms.
Yes. The King & Queen & the husband's & wives of the aristocracy have always slept in different rooms.
And ended up with 3 children so it's not all bad
Beautiful.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
There seems to be no end to what Catherine can achieve
She hooked prince William after modeling in her underwear, then she began to ''love gardening''. Odd that.
Yes, she even managed to completely change her accent. Is there nothing this royal breeder can't do?! 😂😂😂😂
@@marilynwillett804Your quean Meghan did for a pay cheque, Princess Catherine did it for charity.
@@helenaville5939 That is a spiteful and unworthy comment. Catherine always spoke well and it's hardly surprising that her accent has changed a little after her marriage. She wanted to fit in and adapt to life in her new role. All kudos to her. Every photo or video clip featuring her delights people.
@@marilynwillett804 That is a spiteful and unworthy comment.
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.
*Heads Up* ... This is not a tour of their residence. More like a brief history of the palace. 👎
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.
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 !
Margaret would have hated that! Only First Class for her!
Prob stinking of smoke
Kate and William get it. They understand their duty and their devotion to each other and family.
They don’t have the choice
@@sabrinag4512 Why nasty comment Is this really called for ?
I think they will end up being the very first HRM's to fully adapt to both royal and normal living and do so with complete success.
@@jeannelowe480 what’s nasty about Sabrina’s comment she speaks the truth. William has no choice, he was born to be king.
@@judithhogan453 What I thought was nasty is the part where they ( William and Catherine have no choice ) I believe William and Catherine we’re born for this job They full heartedly embrace the challenge ,,,,,Sabrina’s comment to me. Was disrespectful for theses Royals as they are stead fast in their commitment to To modernizing the Monarchy and in my Humble Opinion are doing a cracking job !! Just saying !!
Awesome 🤩
Kensington looks more like a country mansion to me. It looks very mordant, not like a “palace”.
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!
Interesting that their gardens are much better taken care of as those in london or the north of the country?!?? 🤔
Buckingham Palace gardens are stunning
It's bc they are open to the public who pay for that privilege.
Imagine telling your schoolmates, you just live in an apartment..
Awesome they did a great job inside and outside.
The meetings William & Kate have held were filmed in Princess Diana’s old apartment #8.
They and their children deserve their fairytale home. They've demonstrated that they'll be amazing monarchs for their people.
Why?
How they demonstrated and why these children deserve more than other children?
@@jamesjamieson1347 why are YOU always stalking and lying?
@@vipiccb6896 Which lies? You honestly are the worst stalking troll on here.
@@elenaklyuzova7028 TOTALLY Agree! These ppl are just humans, no more no less. Yet they are treated like DIETIES - soooo wrong! It's just a job, w/multiple perks. But the commonwealth nations, for the most part, treat them like today's Gods. Incomprehensible.
Good show!
Yes, Lady Diana would be very proud of her family!
a Dodi też byłby dumny z Will i Kate?😂😂😂
@@annaduda7260yes of course if he was alive! Can u plz don't make such rude comments of ppl who are not around anymore!
Truly.
@@blissful249 brakuje wam zasad moralnych. Z Diany kobiety amoralnej robicie sobie bóstwo! Ciągle twierdzicie,że Diana byłaby dumna ze swoich synów i synowych. A czy synowie są dumni z Diany? No,chyba raczej nie...
Yea, if she wasn't murdered.
Dont bother watching if you are looking for the “inside” of their homes, as it is said in the title. YOU WON’T find it here. Instead, you’ll get a history lesson.
Thank you for saving me time!
Annoying
If you look behind them you can see the interiors. What did you expect? An episode of Through The Keyhole?
@@alanabroad3471 the title literally says "inside"
Soon on the way out to Fort Belvedere, I believe.
After all that aren’t they moving again…closer to Windsor?
Apartment as beautiful as the royal couple.❤👑❤👑❤
Wow! what a lovely place 🌺 nice work if you can get it!
Great Guinness ad in there too.
Those garfens are lengedary.🤩
I just love how down to Earth they truly are.
haha what guff
Down to earth my *ss
🤣
They couldn’t fathom life on our level cos they’re so pampered and protected. Disgusting
I'm glad they manage to make ends meet
😆Well, they do work hard.
Whar do they do??
The exterior is lovely. Inside, not so much. Not my taste, but thank goodness we all like different styles.
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.
❤❤
Edward VII originally nicknamed KP as the “aunt heap”
I think he meant to say "ant heap".
@@MDkid1 no he was being facetious-a play on words about KP being full of his relatives and resembling the crowdedness of an ant colony
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. 😳
Poor you
ty już wiesz co zrobiłby z tym zabyt.budynkiem Harry...😂😂
Stop thinking then.
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.
Prince William looks so much like Prince Phillip. Very handsome.
Beautiful.
Will I sould hope that you live peaceful and kindness always.
They dont show the insides actually. Just where Prince William and Catherine did video calls and meetings. But those seem to show great taste and comfort.
They’re so beautiful together 🥰
Catherine is so beautiful in every way❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Bravo!
I am coming to admire Catherine, Princess of Wales.
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!
King and queen and nice looking one and loves ❤ his wife and children ❤ 😍 💕 ♥ 💖 💗
The day i decided to visit it was closed same as windsor castle. It's ok the third one will be open. God Willing.
💜💜
That’s not an “apartment”. It’s a mansion.
As soon as he described it, if sounds way bigger than what ur average apartment is like in the US lol
It’s an apartment because numerous royals live there. They don’t occupy the whole space.
As he says, they are in “apartment 1A”.
@@grammarboy1318there staff live there too!
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.
With the best home designer & the money, miracles do happen.
He is born in that! Not his fault!
Would you like a saucer of milk 🥱
Apparently they dug up a full basement as added living space.
Whow to spEll (department) Meaning?
There's vanishingly little of the apartment in this video.
🤩🤩
At 7:33, it looks like Queen Victoria (in the painting) is wearing Diana’s famous engagement ring,was hers a family heirloom?
They are a lovely couple.
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.
Living below their means. He'll make a great King someday.
...jeśli los nie zdecyduje inaczej...
@@annaduda7260why wouldn't fate decide?! You are in every comment section so envious if Wales Family. Plz don't do that. They are good ppl!
So show us the apartment!!!
Princess Diana would be proud of Prince William and how he's developed God Bless him❤
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.
I visited Kensington Palace a few years ago and found it underwhelming. If it wasn't located in the UK, it would not be called a Palace but rather, a large stately mansion. Don't get me wrong, I'd gladly take it but, it didn't impress me at all.
Who are you and where do you live?
@@Durka-Durka I live in Canada. That is my honest opinion, when I visited Kensington Palace I didn't think it was nice at all. I was honestly underwhelmed and felt that the entire place really needed some restoration and updating
@@Napp28 it's one of the most beautiful residences in the UK. Designed by Christopher Wren. Classic architecture.
@@josephsf2452 I know the impressive history of Kensington Palace and realise that it is probably the 3rd most desired address in London, UK., but, as per my original comment, I found it underwhelming. In any other country, Kensington would not hold the moniker of being a "Palace" but, rather a "Manor House" or "Hall". 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). The State Rooms had a musty odor to them, especially when near drapery (very similar to that smell when you open a dresser drawer in the attic of your grandparents house). Also, I found it sad that many of the architectural elements people see in photographs AREN'T architectural at all but, rather they're PAINTED onto the walls. Being 100% serious; when you look at a picture of the Cupola Room (probably the most well know interior of the residence), many of the architectural elements seen in pictures are actually painted frescoes done to resemble grandiose segments! However, when touched or viewed closely, they're literally just painted onto flat plastered drywall. That being said, I was only in some of the State Rooms and I'm sure the private apartments are far more updated and comfortable but, as a whole, the 'Palace' is mediocre at best. A downcast aspect of being Royal is that as Private Citizens, members of our Royal Family could (& would) actually live BETTER than they currently do under the constraints of the Civil List and scrutiny of spending 'public funds'. (Same happens in America; think of the former First Lady Melania Trump; having to leave her gorgeous penthouse in Manhattan to live for four years in the gloomy and cramped 300 yr old White House.) I think out of all the UK Official Royal Residences, Clarence House is probably the most well kept and updated. However, Buckingham Palace is currently undergoing much needed renovations while The Queen lives mostly at Windsor. (Speaking of Windsor, the fire of 1992 was actually a blessing in disguise as the devastation allowed the Government / Royal Family to update and restore rooms which were actually quite dilapidated.) Don't get me misread me, I am a loyal Canadian who appreciates the value and Constitutional necessity of our Monarchy but, I just found Kensington to be really dreary and feel sorry for members of our Royal Family who are forced to call it home.
@@Napp28 Thx for your plain-speaking. This needs to be said - and not just the reverential attitude of most Brits.
Wonder if the cameras were installed before or after Harry’s wife was taking secret photos.
@HouseDigest I’m confused how they change up walls & apartments so easily?
Beautiful awesome William
8:54 what is the title of this movie?
. Hamlet . 1996 with Kenneth Branagh and Kate Winslet .
@@ritahorvath8207 Thnx I appreciate it
VISITORS LIKE THIS SHOULD TELL YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW?
Narrator voice sort of annoying sounds like robot
The Ghosts are family, so it is okay. Some furniture reminds me of my friend's apartment.
Oh my days!!!?? QUEEN Victoria was born..oh the history is amazing!!!! Gives me gose pups...
Princess Margaret’s ‘first’ husband was her only husband.
Not much shown of the apartment.

Omg all that and we don’t see nothing of their inside home
I'm in love with Kate ❤❤
Who can blame you? I do think William is very handsome & manly. They complement each other.
@@alidabotes6264 🙌💯
Enjoyed the video. However, I am not really what the title suggested.
What good is it to fix these places up unless they are going to stay in them?
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 😮
Apartment?
The UK, the kings domain
Princess Margaret and her first husband.....??? Princess Margaret only ever married once....!
God bless the Royal Family❤
She is alive and she is beautiful a catolic monk
Who???
