Bagshot Park in Surrey has been the home of Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, and Prince Edward since 1999.
But what is it like inside this majestic residence?
Well, it seems that they will continue to reside there for the foreseeable future, as their tenure with the Crown Estate has been extended for another 150 years.
Living with the royal couple are their children, Lady Louise and James, Earl of Wessex.
Lady Louise, who attends Scotland Street Andrews University, often visits when she is home.
Interestingly, Kate Middleton and Prince William live close by in Windsor, making it convenient for family visits.
In an interview with Sky News, the Duchess of Edinburgh expressed how fortunate they are to live so close to the Queen.
She mentioned that when Her Late Majesty spends time at Windsor on the weekends, their children have the opportunity to go over and have tea with her regularly.
The Grade U-listed building, which underwent reconstruction in 1879, is estimated to be worth £30 million.
Situated on 51 acres of land, Bagshot Park offers breathtaking views from its stunning conservatory.
The photos reveal a spacious dining table, warm hues, and terracotta brick walls.
During an interview with BBC correspondent Naga Manchetti, Sophie showcased a beautiful room adorned with green-striped upholstered chairs and a matching carpet.
The room featured antique sideboards, a marble fireplace, a gold-framed mirror, and exquisite artwork.
Prince Edward unintentionally revealed his home office in a picture when he was opening the NHS Nightingale Hospital in Bristol.
The office boasts wooden walls with intricate carvings and a wall-to-ceiling bookshelf filled with trinkets and framed pictures.
Sophie also gave viewers a glimpse into their preferred leisure activities through a video where she provided homeschooling tips during the school closures.
Standing in front of a bookcase filled with DVDs, books, and games, it revealed the family's love for entertainment.
Another video showcased the largest room in the house, featuring grand double doors with carved hardwood walls and brass knobs.
The room had glass side tables, a desk lamp with a white shade, trinkets, and a silver-framed picture.
Sophie's video of herself baking scones offered a closer look at the kitchen.
With sage-green walls, elegant white cabinetry, and white marble countertops, it exudes a chic and modern ambiance.
It appears there is also a second kitchen for Sophie and Edward's personal use.
During a video conference with Thames Valley Air Ambulance, viewers caught a glimpse of another corner of Bagshot Park.
The Duchess was seated near open shelves displaying a phone, vases, and other decorative items.
Glass-fronted cabinets showcased their exquisite china collection, including teapots, teacups, and saucers.
The grounds of Bagshot Park are equally impressive, covering 51 acres and featuring a private lake and numerous stables.
In a video where Sophie and Edward joined the #Clap4Cares initiative in 2020, viewers got a glimpse of the building's exterior as they clapped in front of glass doors.
