Prince William is currently serving as a helicopter pilot if the RAF at present and this location is near to his base at RAF Valley Anglesey This is also the location of Anglesey Airport which is very very small and only offers flights to and from Cardiff in the South of Wales.
For the last six months, the pair - who also lived together at St Andrews - have been 'road testing' married life by spending much of their time together in the close-knit community. It has allowed them some much-needed privacy away from the spotlight prying eyes of the press.
Locals around the island of Anglesey, off the coast of north Wales, have become accustomed to seeing the pair going about their business and have allowed them the space they need. The precise location of the cottage has been kept secret to protect the Royal couple, who will one day be Prince and Princess of Wales. Prince William's decision to live in the Welsh countryside will require 15 extra officers from the local force at an estimated cost of £1.4 million per year.
Once they are married, they will also have the use of an apartment at Clarence House where Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall and Prince Harry also have suites.When William finishes his three-year stint in the RAF, he and Kate are expected to move to an eco-friendly house built by Charles at Harewood Park in Herefordshire.
Situated in prime countryside between Monmouth and Ross-in-Wye, the 900-acre estate was snapped up by the Duchy of Cornwall, which provides Prince Charles with his annual income, in 2000. At the time it was in a sorry state, its Georgian mansion house demolished after being used as target practice for the SAS and replaced with a 70s style bungalow.
The Duchy subsequently announced plans to raze the existing building to the ground and over the last few years a team of artisans, builders and restorers have been sought to build a six-bedroomed neo-Georgian manor house masterpiece fit for a king.The multi-million property will boast two grand reception rooms, an orangery and even its own chapel when it is finished. There will also be a drawing room, study, kitchen, pantry and boot room.
In line with his father's green principles, William's new home will be built with every eco-friendly mod-con going including a red-bed sewage system, wood chip boiler, solar panels and walls lined with insulating sheep's wool. Some critics have described the pillars and bronze figurines as being rather 'noveau-riche' but the sight of its stunning portico entrance and indoor courtyard suggests that it is fit for a (future) king.
As a teenager Kate always said her dream was to have 'a nice house in the country and some dogs'. Now that dream looks set to be realised - until the day that Buckingham Palace beckons.
