Princess Kate's recovery phase is progressing. Apparently the heir to the throne is working on strategies that could give Kate a “secret home”.
Windsor - On March 22nd, Princess Kate (42) showed courage and ended her long break by making her cancer public in a video message. The weeks were intended as a regeneration phase after an abdominal illness, but quickly turned out to be a kind of hunt. Instead of calm, there was a hail of wild speculation and conspiracy theories about the royal's whereabouts. The Princess of Wales and Prince William (41) have apparently drawn their conclusions for the future from this.
Insider: "Nobody knows there's a pretty spacious outbuilding next to Adelaide Cottage"
Prince William and Kate Middleton are reportedly hatching surprising plans to find some sort of sanctuary as the princess recovers. The royal couple are reportedly considering renovations and extensions to a little-known red-brick annex next to Adelaide Cottage in Windsor. During the Easter holidays, their previous retreat, Anmer Hall on the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, provided relaxation and peace.

But of course it would be practical not to have to pack your bags and charter a helicopter to retreat. Another advantage would of course be the close proximity of the Adelaide Cottage to Lambrook School, which Prince George (10), Princess Charlotte (8) and Prince Louis (5) attend.
William is keenly aware of public criticism of the royals' spending habits
“No one knows that there is a fairly spacious red brick outbuilding next to Adelaide Cottage that is not in use,” said an insider. And further: “It is currently habitable and requires extensive renovation work if it is to be used.”
However, the empty building cannot be used without further ado, especially since the conversion would involve costs. The Prince of Wales is aware of “public scrutiny” over royal spending and does not want to rush into it, say the insiders.
The need for space is more than just a desire for luxury. Sources say that, despite help from her mother Carole Middleton, 69, providing her with a calm environment in which to cope with the demands of her treatment is crucial to Kate's journey to wellness. It looks like the heir to the throne wants to avoid questions by financing the costs of renovating the Adelaide Cottage extension from his private money.
