Inside Sophie and Prince Edward's £30m 'party house' – with jaw-dropping feature The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh's majestic home, Bagshot Park in Surrey might not be a Royal palace, but make no mistake, it's anything but humble.
Located 11 miles south of Windsor and lying within the designated area of Windsor Great Park, the ultra-secluded property was constructed in 1879, following the demolition of several existing lodges on the site.
It was built for Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn, the third son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.
Official records from that time show there were 26 servants living in the main house, as well as four valets, a cook, three footmen and at least nine maids.
Edward and Sophie have renewed the lease from the Crown Estate for another 150 years, so it's obviously their forever home.".
