After the beloved grandchildren of Elizabeth II, first William, and seven years later Harry, got their own families, the Queen, of course, took care of where they would live and raise their children. She presented them with magnificent apartments in London's Kensington Palace and country houses. It is interesting to see what they both got …
Duke and Duchess of Cambridge
Kensington Palace, Apartment 1A
The family of the Dukes of Cambridge was given the freedom to choose and chose the finest 20-room Kensington Palace apartment for their stay in London, with stunning views of Hyde Park. Previously, the sister of Elizabeth II, Princess Margaret, lived here.
William and Kate settled in this rather modest, by royal standards, palace after the birth of their first child, Prince George, in the fall of 2013.
Now it is home to 15 royals, for whom the palace is the official residence. Unsurprisingly, they jokingly refer to it as "the royal dormitory."
Kensington Palace is a collective concept, and it unites several buildings, both free-standing and connected to each other by aisles.
Anmer Hall in Norfolk
Two years after the wedding, the Queen presented the Anmer Hall estate in Norfolk, 120 miles from London, to the Dukes of Cambridge.
Finally, they got their own country house, where they could live in silence and solitude. In Anmer Hall, the family leads a rather modest lifestyle.
During the renovation, the roof tiles were replaced with brighter ones.
William and Catherine love their country house in quiet provincial Norfolk more than London apartments. The spouses like it so much that here they can safely walk in the park, go to the shops, and no one runs after them with a camera. While George was little, William and Kate lived here. But in early 2017, they had to leave their country house and move to London apartments as Prince George went to school. In addition, the number of representational duties assigned to them has increased significantly.
Duke and Duchess of Sussex
Cottage Nottingham
Even before the wedding, Megan moved to Prince Harry's bachelor house - a small two-story cottage Nottingham, which is located on the territory of Kensington Palace.
After the wedding, having received the title of Dukes of Sussex, the couple still continue to live in this modest but cozy house. Here they have at their disposal two bedrooms, a spacious living room, an office, a kitchen and a comfortable bathroom.
But since the announcement of the engagement, renovations have begun on the Kensington Palace apartments allocated to Harry and Meghan. By now, all the work has already been completed and, apparently, a housewarming should be expected soon. Their four-story 21-room apartment is located adjacent to Kate and William's apartment.
York Cottage in Norfolk
A mansion in Norfolk County, York Cottage, became a wedding gift to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from Queen Elizabeth II. It is close to William and Kate's Country House.
Adelaid Cottage in Windsor
But the Queen's gifts did not end there. Just a few months later, she made another generous gift to the newlyweds - the Adelaide cottage near London.
It is located in the heart of Home Park in Windsor. In 2015, the cottage was completely renovated, but perhaps the young couple would like to remake something to their liking. Now Meghan and Harry have plenty to choose from regarding where to live.
And in continuation of the theme, a story about how Meghan Markle's style changed and what images became the most successful.

What do the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of Princess Grace Kelly of Monaco look like and do today?
The Princess of Monaco was married to Prince Rainier III and they had three children: Caroline, Princess of Hanover, Albert II, Prince of Monaco, and Stephanie, Princess of Monaco. Later 13 grandchildren were born. And it's no surprise that the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the consummate Grace Kelly have inherited her understated sophistication and elegance, not to mention the iconic sense of fashion - a combination that makes them truly royalty in a matter of seconds
Communal apartments in GUM: who lived in apartments on Red Square
"Let's meet at the fountain in GUM" is a phrase that is well known to more than one generation of Muscovites. Today, the country's central department store is a place for great shopping and entertainment, but at the beginning of the 20th century, this building was also home to 22 families. Today it’s hard to believe, but in the process of nationalization, the upper floors of the shopping center were transferred to communal ownership. Ordinary citizens were settled in rooms overlooking the Kremlin
How did the fate of Stalin's grandchildren develop, which of them was proud of their grandfather, and who was hiding their kinship with the "leader of the peoples"
Joseph Vissarionovich had three children and at least nine grandchildren. The youngest of them was born in 1971 in America. It is interesting that almost no one from the second generation of the Dzhugashvili family even saw their famous grandfather, but everyone has their own opinion about him. Someone neatly tells their own children about their grandfather's crimes, and someone actively defends the "leader of the peoples" and writes books, justifying the difficult decisions that he had to make in difficult times
Country houses and small houses: painting by Ben Grasso
New Yorker Ben Grasso feels like an impostor in painting. But this is what makes him constantly keep his nose to the wind and his ears on the alert in order to catch new trends and keep up. In addition to abstract painting, the artist often draws houses and houses, which are definitely not in the metropolis, so he has accumulated a whole art-village with buildings for every taste. His wards (or experimental?) Houses are reflected in the water, fly, climb trees and crumble into small planks
Apartments painted on the walls of apartments. Black and white painting (Wall Art) by Charlotte Mann
British artist Charlotte Mann has one single color and one single tool in her arsenal, but this minimum is enough for her to create her stunning work. An ordinary black marker in talented hands is capable of feats for which Charlotte became famous not only in her homeland, but also in many other foreign countries. Her specialization is Wall Art, black and white painting of walls in apartments and offices, a kind of "room graffiti"
