Until recently, reporters couldn’t track where Kate Middleton disappeared to when she left her Adelaide Cottage in Windsor. But now the mystery has been unveiled. It turns out that Kate, who celebrated her 43rd birthday this month, often retreats to her parents’ home — Michael and Carole Middleton’s residence.
Her parents are always happy to welcome their daughter to their estate in Bucklebury, which is just a 45-minute drive from Windsor. Over the past year, Kate has been visiting them even more frequently. And it’s no surprise, considering the shocking news she received last March about her cancer diagnosis, which deeply affected her and her family. During tough moments, her parents’ home has offered her comfort and support, with Carole also having the chance to care for her daughter.
Recently, during a visit to a London cancer hospital, Kate announced that she is currently in remission. However, that doesn’t mean she’s visiting Bucklebury less often. She’s still far from fully recovered and continues to need extra care and rest. Her mother’s home provides the perfect sanctuary for Kate during this time.
The Middletons bought their grand estate in 2012, about a year after Kate married Prince William. They specifically chose the location to be closer to their daughter. The mansion cost them £4.7 million and includes seven bedrooms, five reception rooms, a tennis court, and a swimming pool—providing plenty of space for the royal family to relax and recharge.
