The Prince and Princess of Wales are raising their three young children in Adelaide Cottage – their candy pink home on the Windsor Home Park estate.

But it wasn’t the home the couple moved straight into following their 2011 nuptials. Many remember the Waleses’ time at Kensington Palace before their relocation to Windsor, but it was a remote Welsh island that provided the love nest of the royal newlyweds.

The loved-up pair lived in a cottage on the Bodorgan Estate as William was working as a search and rescue pilot with the Royal Air Force. The couple stayed there until 2013 meaning it is believed to be Prince George’s first home.

The Princess was able to live reasonably under the radar, especially compared to the examined lifestyle she led in London. During her residency, Kate was spotted shopping at her local Waitrose on Anglesey and shopping for dog food in Llangefni.

However, this remote lifestyle wasn’t all it’s cracked up to be as far as the mother of three was concerned. In 2020, the St Andrew’s aluma opened up about her experiences of living in such a secluded location when she visited a children’s centre in Cardiff.

A lonely location

“I was chatting to some of the mums, I had just had George and William was still working with search and rescue, so we came up here when George was a tiny, tiny little baby, in the middle of Anglesey,” the royal mother remembered.

“It was so isolated, so cut off, I didn’t have my family around me, he was doing night shifts, so if only I’d had a centre like this at a certain time.”

However, her husband was able to look back fondly on the time they spent in Wales. “This island has been our first home together, and it will always be an immensely special place for us both,” William said. “Catherine and I look forward to returning again and again over the coming years with our family.

“I know that I speak for Catherine when I say that I have never in my life known somewhere as beautiful and as welcoming as Anglesey.”

Though remote, their farmhouse on the Bodorgan Estate was aesthetically beautiful with a white exterior, four bedrooms, and views of the Eryri mountains.
