Carole Middleton lives less than an hour's drive from Kate and William at Adelaide Cottage
Carole Middleton, 68, lives extremely close to her daughter Kate, Princess of Wales, now living at Adelaide Cottage, as she also lives in Berkshire.
There is less than an hour's drive between Carole and Michael Middleton's residence, the £4.7million Bucklebury Manor, and Adelaide Cottage, the home of Kate and William. The Princess of Wales's sister Pippa and her husband James Matthews chose Bucklebury Manor, a seven-bedroom, grade II-listed Georgian home with a drawing room, a library, and 18 acres of land, to host their wedding reception in May 2017.

The Middleton family has only shared a few pictures of the house through Kate, her brother James (who spent the early days of the pandemic there), and Carole and Michael themselves.
Pictures have shown a conservatory with giant Velux windows and floor-to-ceiling windows, two living rooms with a subdued colour scheme, a variety of couches, and two traditional log fires.
The house features seven bedrooms, as well as an entry hall, a drawing room, a dining room, a library, and a sitting room. It also has five reception rooms.
Carole gave a glimpse into the interior of their private residence in the midst of the pandemic.
In an interview with Good Housekeeping, she discussed her favourite room and said: "My kitchen. It's a kitchen/dining/sitting room and it's the heart of the house."
The open-plan space, Carole added, is the ideal place for her and Michael to welcome visitors because it is equipped with a traditional white Aga oven.
"I love a kitchen supper, where I have a small number of guests. I'll cook something delicious and make it look lovely, then we'll finish with a kitchen disco," Carole commented.
James, Kate's brother, also provided a glimpse of the garden when he recorded a video of himself in the area shaving his beard.

They even posted their first official family portrait taken in the estate's garden.
The pictures displayed a sizable lawn bordered by tall trees and plants.
Additionally, Carole owns another magnificent property nearby. Because of this, the mother of the Princess of Wales must pay more for it.
The mother of the Middleton family has a converted barn next to her primary residence, but she doesn't live there because it serves as the headquarters for her party business, Party Pieces.
