Royal homes: 11 behind-the-scenes personal photos from Kate, Meghan and more
Kate Middleton and Prince George's bedtime moment
If there are iconic images linked to the royals' family life, this is, without a doubt, one of them. In 2016, US President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle visited the Cambridges at Kensington Palace, where they witnessed the most adorable family moments. You can't help but go gaga over Prince George in his cute bathrobe, but the pictures also gave us a sneak peek of the royal deco at the palace. Cream carpets, classic furniture and thick velvet curtains add a luxurious and elegant touch to the Duke and Duchess of Cambdrige's home.
Prince Harry invites Ed Sheeran to Ivy Cottage
Prince Harry and British singer Ed Sheeran got comfy at Princess Eugenie and James Brooksbank's home, Ivy Cottage in Kensington Palace. They filmed a sweet and funny video for World Mental Health Day, where the singer (mistakenly) stands up for ginger rights. Apart from the hilarious script, the shoot allowed us to see inside Ivy cottage, where Princess Eugenie displays a black and white portrait of her wedding day in the hall.
Princes' Eugenie's proud mom Sarah Ferguson
Princess Eugenie's parents did a great job sharing the joy on the day of their daughter's wedding. Royal fans got a peek inside Prince Andrew's family home when Sarah, Duchess of York, shared a behind-the-scenes photo from the royal wedding. The Duchess posed in a hallway, showing off her flattering green satin gown. Coincidentally, it matched the color of the walls behind, which were decorated with framed family photos. A wooden dresser and lush cream carpets can also be seen in the photo.
The stunning deco at Princess Eugene's wedding reception
Prince Andrew also gave the royal watchers a behind-the-scenes glimpse at his daughter Princess Eugenie's wedding. In particular, the Duke of York showed the spectacular room where the daytime reception took place at Windsor Castle. \"The flower arrangements displayed during the wedding reception for Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank last Friday at Windsor Castle were created using autumnal foliage from Windsor Great Park and biodegradable oasis, following the couple's autumnal theme and eco-friendly request,\" he said along with the picture of the beautiful room and decorations.
Royal brunch, Meghan Markle edition
Thank you, celebrity makeup artist Daniel Martin, for sharing this photo. Meghan's good friend gave us a glimpse of the Duchess' home life when she hosted him at Kensington Palace in January. The pair tucked into avocado on toast served on a silver platter, while drinking tea that was served in a rustic teapot and matching mugs.

In another glimpse into a royal daily routine, we got a look at the school run with Princess Leonor and her dad King Felipe, leaving their home in the morning.Queen Letizia's daughter looks super cute in her school uniform as she holds onto papa's hand. We can also see the grand hall of the house, which is in the grounds of the royal palace of Madrid, with elegant black and white tiles and flower arrangements.
Sofia and Leonor join their royal parents for a typical family meal
To celebrate King Felipe's 50th birthday, the Spanish royals shared some images of their everyday life. In one of the scenes, we can see how Princess Leonor and Sofía sit at the table with their parents, as any other family would do and talk about what's going on in their lives.
The Danish Royals' lavish sitting room
Being one of the most elegant royals in the world, Princess Mary of Denmark was always going to be on point with her decor when it came to her living room. We got to see it during a sit down with Princess Victoria of Sweden and her husband Prince Daniel. Elegant glass chandeliers, soft-colored walls, velvet sofas and contemporary decor accessories exist in perfect harmony in the Danish royal family’s official residence
Queen Maxima at the Dutch royals' new palace
After 15 years of living in Villa De Eikenhorst, Queen Maxima and her family moved to their new residence, Huis Ten Bosch this year. One of the most stunning rooms is the DNA room, where we can see Queen Maxima in this image. Artist Jacob van der Beugel used sixty-thousand tiles to create a work of art representing King Willem, Queen Maxima and Princess Amalia's DNA sequence to cover the walls.
Princess Mette-Marit's extensive book collection
In a beautiful picture shared by Princess Mette-Marit of Norway, we can see her surrounded by books ahead of the trip to the Frankfurt Book Fair that the Princess and her husband Prince Haakon visited in October. Comfortable sofas in cream tones matching the soft carpet add contrast to the beautiful green walls of this room at Skaugum Palace, close to Oslo.
Birthday celebrations in the Monaco twins' playroom
We just can't get enough of the beautiful Monaco royal children. Especially Jacques and Gabriella, the four-year-old twins Prince Albert shares with Princess Charlene. To celebrate their dad's birthday, Charlene shared this sweet picture that shows, in the background, a room full of soft toys and a pale toned deco, perfect for the twins to play in!
