Royal homes: UK royals live in incredible residences but do the likes of Prince William and Kate Middleton and Prince Edward and Sophie Wessex have to pay rent?
November 02, 2021 - 09:36 GMT Rachel Avery From Prince Edward and Sophie Wessex's 120-room estate Bagshot Park through to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's UK base of Frogmore Cottage, the royal family have the most impressive homes. You may be wondering, do the royals have to pay rent?Working royals are usually given premises to live in by the Queen which will not require any payment from the occupier.
In addition, the Queen is known for her generosity and quite often gifts homes as wedding presents. When a house is handed over from Her Majesty, it is believed it would come rent and mortgage-free. As Prince Edward and Sophie Wessex were gifted the keys to Bagshot Park upon their 1999 nuptials, it is unlikely that they need to pay any keep.
