It is believed that Edward originally signed a 50-year lease for Bagshot Park, but the couple subsequently chose to extend the lease for an additional 150 years, making it their permanent home. They live there with their two children, Lady Louise Windsor and James, Earl of Wessex, when they are not away at university or school.
It would have cost £5 million to secure the longer lease, and the property itself is reportedly worth an incredible £3million if it were listed on the open market.
Bagshot Park was originally a series of small lodges, designed for King Charles I, but they were later demolished in 1877. Two years later in 1879, the home was rebuilt with approximately 120 rooms.
The home is not open to the public as it is the private home of the Edinburgh family.
