During term time the couple are based in a four-storey apartment at Kensington Palace with their three children – Prince George, seven, Princess Charlotte, five, and Prince Louis, two.
Kensington Palace is a practical base as not only is it William and Kate’s administrative office but it is a short drive from George and Charlotte’s school, Thomas’s Battersea.
Apartment 1A has two master bedrooms on the ground floor but while the option is there for them to sleep separately, Kate and William are understood to share a bedroom.
In 2013, the couple were reported to have purchased a special bed following their move from Anglesey, where William was serving in the RAF, to Kensington Palace in London.
