Why the Middletons Are Selling Kate’s Old Chelsea Pad
Let’s talk about some royal real estate news. Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, has been living in Kensington Palace with Prince William and their three adorable kids since 2013. And honestly, who wouldn’t want to live in a palace? But now, it seems that her days of needing her old Chelsea apartment are over. According to reports, Kate’s parents, Michael and Carole Middleton, are putting the apartment up for sale. Yes, the very same place where Kate lived with her sister, Pippa, before she officially became part of the royal family.
Now, let’s break this down. The three-bedroom apartment was purchased by Michael and Carole back in 2002 for £780,000, which is roughly $990K. Fast forward to today, and they’re reportedly listing it for £1.95 million, or around $2.5 million. That’s quite the profit margin, if you ask me. Of course, we won’t get into the math right now because, well, it’s way too early for that kind of brainpower. But let’s just say the Middletons are definitely doing well for themselves.
What About Pippa? Does She Need the Apartment?
Here’s the thing: even Pippa doesn’t need the apartment anymore. She’s all grown up now, living the high life with her husband, James Matthews, in a £17 million mansion—yes, you read that right, a mansion—just down the road. So if you’re in Chelsea and you’ve got a little extra cash lying around, listen up. This former Middleton sisters' apartment is 1,250 square feet, features two bathrooms, and is filled with classic, old-fashioned furniture. To Kate and Pippa, it might feel like a little shack compared to their current digs, but hey, it’s still a charming place in one of London’s most desirable neighborhoods.

And let’s not forget about their brother, James. He’s off living his own adventure in Scotland, working and enjoying life far from London. When he does visit the family, he’s got the Middleton’s seven-bedroom home in Berkshire to crash at. Honestly, who needs an apartment in Chelsea when you’ve got that kind of setup? To be honest, we kind of forget James exists sometimes, but that’s on us, not him.
