The London home Kate Middleton shared with her sister before she married into the royal family is on the market.
Located in a sought-after spot in the posh Chelsea neighborhood, the three-bedroom apartment was once lived in by the Duchess of Cambridge.
Although likely to be a distant memory for Kate now, the Middleton sisters lived there after their parents bought it in 2002.

Originally purchased for 780,000 pounds, or over $978,000, it is now for sale for 1.95 million pounds, or nearly $1.9 million, according to The Sunday Times.
The Chelsea apartment is tastefully decorated with colorful and cosy extras scattered throughout the three bedrooms. Rugs and sofas fill the living spaces in what looks like a spacious apartment.

Kate has lived with husband Prince William and their three children at Kensington Palace for years, and Pippa now lives with husband James Matthews and their new baby.
William and Kate live at Kensington Palace Apartment 1A — they moved into the residence in 2012, after it underwent a $5.6 million refurbishment. It features five reception rooms, three master bedrooms and additional dressing rooms, bathrooms and a gym — not your average London apartment.

The Crown Estate is owned by the current reigning monarchy, and the Queen doesn’t actually have any rights when it comes to the selling of properties.
