Live Next Door to Prince William and Kate Middleton for £20,000 per Week

Living next to British royals comes at a premium, and in this case, the price is £20,000 (US$26,527) per week.

The London apartment, which neighbours Kensington Palace, home to Prince William and Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, hit the rental market on Tuesday.

Its exclusive Palace Green address also puts it near Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park.

“Palace Green is famous for its privacy and security, with some of the most prestigious homes in the city,” Sarah McIntyre, head of rentals at Harrods Estates, said in a statement. “The area combines luxurious amenities, lush green spaces, and a rich sense of history, making it one of the most sought-after addresses in Prime Central London.”

Located on the second floor—accessible via elevator—the apartment spans 4,126 square feet. It has four en-suite bedrooms and an additional room that could serve as either a fifth bedroom, a home office or a more informal living space, according to the listing with Harrods Estates. The spare room features a half-bath.

Interior details include parquet flooring, crown mouldings and a sleek modern kitchen. The home also has an air-cooling system—a rare amenity in the U.K.—and a spacious private terrace.

In addition to the plethora of green spaces the Kensington neighbourhood offers, the building has communal gardens for residents. It also has underground parking and 24-hour concierge services.

“The building was the first project in London to introduce hotel-style concierge services to apartment living when it was built in the 1990s,” McIntyre told Mansion Global.

Kensington has a history of notable residents, including Winston Churchill and Freddie Mercury , and it consistently tops the list for London’s priciest areas.

Mirvac has topped out Trielle at Melbourne’s Yarra’s Edge, with more than 70 per cent of the riverfront development sold and approximately 80 per cent of purchasers intending to make their apartment a home.

The figures, released on September 22, point to an owner-occupier audience for one of the precinct’s final residential towers. Mirvac began developing Yarra’s Edge in 2003, and its latest addition occupies one of the remaining absolute riverfront sites.

Mirvac CEO of Development Stuart Penklis said existing residents were among those moving up within the neighbourhood.

“Many purchasers already have a connection to Yarra’s Edge,” Mr Penklis said, describing buyers whose changing needs were encouraging an upgrade within the precinct.

“As one of the final residential towers within Yarra’s Edge, Trielle represents the culmination of more than two decades of creating one of Melbourne’s most established and sought-after waterfront communities,” Penklis said.

“Positioned on the Collins Street axis with absolute river frontage, Trielle offers residents a rare opportunity to enjoy sweeping views across the Yarra River, Melbourne skyline and Port Phillip Bay, while remaining seamlessly connected to the CBD. With Trielle now more than 70 per cent sold, we’re continuing to see strong demand from buyers seeking quality homes in established locations.”

The developer also flagged a penthouse and sub-penthouse collection with larger layouts, premium finishes and broad outlooks. The planned wellness centrepiece, The Oasis, encompasses a 900-square-metre elevated urban rainforest.

Mirvac General Manager Residential Development Victoria Elysa Anderson said Trielle had resonated strongly with buyers seeking a rare lifestyle offering in Melbourne.

“Opportunities to secure a new luxury residence on a riverfront site of this calibre are incredibly rare, particularly within a community like Yarra’s Edge,” Anderson said.

“What makes Trielle unique is the combination of exceptional views, world-class residential facilities and the lifestyle that already exists around it. Residents are buying into a mature waterfront community with parks, promenades, dining, wellness and strong community connections already in place.”

The 45-level tower brings a substantial new presence to that waterfront. Its residential offering spans one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom apartments, with Signature, Prestige and Sub-Penthouse collections accommodating different household sizes. The north-facing position connects the apartments visually to the river and city beyond.

Seven storeys above the promenade, the planned Oasis combines planting and a running stream with a Scandinavian-inspired wellness club developed with spa specialist Naomi Gregory. Facilities include a 25-metre lap pool, hot magnesium pool, sauna, hydrotherapy, a gym, yoga and Pilates room, and treatment spaces.

The amenity extends beyond exercise. Residents will have access to The Biblioteca library and workspaces, ground-floor work pods, and The Salone piano lounge. A private Chef’s Table dining room offers a setting for larger gatherings, while a cinema, games room and sports lounge broaden the entertaining options. Concierge services and a dog-wash area support everyday routines.

Trielle comprises a collection of one, two, three and four-bedroom residences. Reflecting strong demand from owner occupiers, approximately 80 per cent of purchasers to date intend to live in their homes, highlighting the project’s appeal to those seeking a long-term waterfront lifestyle.

Mirvac has recently delivered The Albertine, a premium apartment development on the edge of Melbourne’s CBD, and is nearing completion of Prince & Parade in Brunswick, further strengthening its portfolio of thoughtfully designed apartment communities in some of Melbourne’s most sought-after urban locations.
