Untitled[edit]

Do Prince and Princess Michael still life there, or have they been turfed out? Astrotrain 15:29, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, well [1] says it's their London Residence and office. Don't know how current it is though. Make of it what you like. Biofoundationsoflanguage 19:12, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I remember reading that they were moving out, but wasn't sure if it was just media hype or not. I quite like Princess Michael though. Astrotrain 10:27, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think I might've heard something along those lines too.

I've tried googling it but all I've found so far is that they can stay there, subsidised by Her Majesty until 2009. Maybe they have, or are about to, leave prematurely? about half way down, though this is from 2003! Biofoundationsoflanguage 16:25, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Given the royal website still says they life there, then we should go by that. Thanks for the links Astrotrain 23:51, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

cottages at KP[edit]

Should it be noted that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge actually live in Nottingham Cottage and that K.P. is really a series of buildings, including Wren House, where the Duke and Duchess of Kent reside? It's gotten enough media coverage. 74.69.127.200 (talk) 13:19, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Missing origins[edit]

The article doesn't give any indication of when the palace was first built, or who built it. It'd be very useful, if anyone can add this in (I can't, I fear...). Nick Michael (talk) 22:05, 21 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Textorus (talk) 13:22, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

mistress to lover[edit]

The article said a window was blocked up to stop Lord Lorne escaping to visit his mistress. But the footnote doesn't say that - just that he had "assignations". Lorne was long rumoured to be gay. If so his assignations would not have been with a mistress. I changed the sentence from the gender-specific "mistress" to the gender-neutral "lover".

Origin story problems[edit]

The house can’t have been purchased in 1619 by a man who wasn’t born until the end of 1620. Provided citation does not currently include any details on its purchase despite being appended to that sentence. Not sure how to fix this other than delete the sentence/citation which doesn’t seem optimal. 108.56.131.150 (talk) 20:07, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
