While Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle may have taken centre stage at the recent Coronation, one royal estate that has largely stayed out of the limelight is Princess Anne ’s stunning home in Gatcombe Park. Spread across 700 acres and tucked away neatly in the Gloucestershire countryside, the estate is an unseen gem of the royal portfolio, and serves as the private residence of the Princess Royal, meaning that unlike other royal properties, it is not open to the public.
Although it has been seen in the past on rare occasions, such as during horse trials (both Anne and her daughter Zara Tindall are keen equestrians) it has largely remained a mystery to many royals fans, who rarely catch a glimpse inside the ample property. Thankfully, from time to time the royal family has treated fans at home to a peek inside the home, such as during the pandemic, or more recently, to mark the Rugby Calcutta Cup.
