A friend of the couple further told Kay: “Taking on Royal Lodge would mean a transformation in the way they lead their lives.
“One of the main reasons why the couple are so content at Adelaide Cottage, their current home in Windsor Great Park, is because it is a family house and there are no live-in staff. Moving into the vast Royal Lodge would mean having to accommodate domestic staff, something they have long resisted.”
It’s instead been suggested that the home could be offered to the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh. Alternatively, an insider told The Sun: “It makes sense for Royal Lodge to be handed back to Crown Estates, which can pay for the much-needed repairs and renovations. It could then be rented to earn money for them, the King’s coffers and the country rather than being a drain on everyone’s resources.”
