Have noticed The Telegraph and Hello! Magazine have been carefull in specifying where the news comes from; Mail on Sunday/Daily Mail (Katie Nicholl) - in case the article is not true?!  Absolutely right.  I'm just waiting for a quote from the poor fellow who made a copy of said key. Then we can read all about how "anxious" Harry was to get it, etc, etc, etc. :bored:

lol, Ursula!  Quite right, Alixx, this is one more sign that they are back on.  I wish they were actually living together. I think it would help these two figure out if they really belong together or not. Posts merged

Another fine piece of journalism, eh? Sources say Harry felt his quarters at Prince Charles's Clarence House were too cramped.  Oh my gosh Ursula! I missed that!!!  Hilarious... I wonder if that was written that way on purpose???!!!

Harry is a real Windsor in some ways.

I dont post often, just more interested in the latest gossip than anything. I heard from friends that H & W didnt live in the palace and lived in an apartment block in a v.well off area of London. Once I got too interested, they back-tracked. But these are people that socialise and drink in the same places as both H &W a few times, and live in the same area. Could be total crap...probably is, just thought it was too good to not share, am a fan of the site

Were you STALKING them?  Fantastic gossip though. If you have data like that you should share it with us. Do you think it was true? I mean, there'd have to be security wouldn't there?

My friends pointed out later in the night a large apartment complex, with serious security outside/gates/walls etc and said they had apartments inside. There were lots of other young celebrities who live in the block too I heard.
No no, I didnt get anywhere near them, and im no stalker. If anything I think they are just normal people, who have serious responsibility.
Take it all with a grain of salt! Am sure the press would've found out long ago if all this were true.
The only thing that gave it credience, were that my friends have actually bumped into both H&W few times, eat in same restaurants, pubs, etc, have even shared a round of shots.

^There's that high possibility. This is what the papers ran with during May 2007. It was also peak with the short lived break up. And ultimately Miss Middleton has been seen very often by twitter users - surrounding areas of Pimlico... Residents at the swish apartment complex apparently had an idea they were about to get a high profile new neighbour after extra security measures were implemented and new CCTV cameras were installed. Their suspicions were confirmed when an announcement that Wills has signed a lease on a newly refurbished three-bedroom flat appeared in the Dolphin Square newsletter. According to the article, the 24-year-year-old Prince will shortly move into an apartment on the ninth floor, while "members of his police protection team will be located in apartments on either side of his flat".
When William becomes a tenant in the exclusive complex he will enjoy a host of upmarket facilities, including a pool, gym, bar, squash courts and even a croquet lawn. There are also hordes of porters to cater for residents' needs. Another advantage is the fact that it is widely known as one of the safest addresses in London, due to the high numbers of senior military and intelligence officers who live there.

I don't remember where I read it but I remember someone commenting that Harry has "keys to a lot of apartments". meaning he probably stays in a different areas or has apartmens in different areas. I still think they also stay at CH because I recall the paparazzi pictures of Prince Harry and Caroline Flack in the back of a car and the caption said they were entering CH. Then there's the pictures of Chelsy and her mom going to CH and the story of PW setting up a gym for when Kate stays at CH as reported by Mr. Supposed reliable Duncan Lancombe. I don't remember how old these stories were but I'm sure there are a lot of things they do and places they go that we don't know about.

Thank you wannabe, that is really good detective work. By the way this is the Dolphin Square Apartments. We can only but dream.I found this story which was published originally in the DM strange. I asked myself, why on earth would W & K stay in Belgravia when Clarence House, St James is not that far away. During the day you could walk it in about 30 minutes. Actually, it is quicker to walk it during the day because of the traffic in central London, but late at night its only 10-15 mins. We were informed by the media sometime ago that Charles Davy bought this property on behalf of Chelsy. I wonder if that is true? Could this actually be a property which is owned by the Crown Estates or even the Duchy? They both own and administer extensive properties in London. Perhaps, Chelsy's father didn't buy her the flat. Perhaps because of PH, they have loaned Chelsy the flat? Who knows. easydoesit, aside of the fact that the BRF have access to a number of properties all over the country, I understand that the princes friends also put properties at their disposal. I guess its by way of avoiding the paps. How many pics have we seen of either Kate or Chelsy arriving or leaving CH? I have only seen one of Chelsy arriving and then there was the one of her and her mother outside. I don't know if there are any of Kate, I have not seen them. Alixxx, the Duke of Westminster is indeed the richest property owner in England. Grosvenor Square, Mayfair, Knightsbride......you name it. http://www.hellomagazine.com/royalty/201001252802/prince-harry/chelsy-davy/living-together/1/I maintain the press have acess to Chelsy's FB.

The news of Wills' move may have royal fans wondering why he has chosen the apartment over a more regal base such as Clarence House. "Dolphin Square is safe, central and anonymous. While he's in the Army William only needs an uncomplicated base in London for short periods," a royal aide tells a British newspaper. "And the real point is that he does not yet want to live in any of the royal palaces where everyone would know exactly what he's up to and who he invites back. He's got a whole lifetime of that." http://www.hellomagazine.com/royalty/2007/05/28/prince-william-house/Makes sense. Isn't CH a bit of a tourist attraction?

^Yes some parts of CH is open to the public during Summer of each year. CD and her mum did a tour - PH was the only royal available - summer 2008.
The Summer Opening of Clarence House will be 31 July - 1 September 2010. Further dates may be added. 10:00-16:00 (last admission 15:00)
CD and Mrs. Beverly Davy went August 18, 2008

there are a lot of high profile people living in the Dolphin Square buildings so the security was not necessarily to protect the princes. i remember the rumors about him moving there although personally i doubt if there is any truth to it. Kate lived at CH at one point according to rumor. maybe that's why Harry wants out? "Well, there were 3 of us in the flat, so it was a bit crowded." in truth Harry and William are barely there themselves these days and mainly stay there on weekends. why bother buying a flat in those circumstances? they hang out at their gfs houses and vice versa but the whole living together thing hasn't been true since Kate and William graduated uni. that said i do remember reading in one of the articles about Harry's personal inheritance that he (and probably William too) has some of it invested in real estate. although where it is and the accuracy of the article is anyone's guess.

Hey! Am I missing something here?
If William wants anonymity he's not going to get it now.
Hello Magazine just wiped that for him.

Dolphin Square may indeed be a reality for W&H. Camilla comes to mind. And that would be another good reason to keep it hush-hush. Image of a "happy" family, and all that.

The People say: The couple, both 24, rekindled their romance after a split last year. Chelsy’s wealthy South Africanbased parents helped her buy her flat. She is going to Cape Town for a “ last blast” with pals before starting work When will the press start treating them like adults. The 'last blast' sounds so 21ish.

Actually Stix Chix, having digested this information, I to agree with you. I have no doubt that the security is good there because many MP's live there, however they themselves are not always the most discreet. So I doubt given the range of people who live there any of the princes would have anymore privacy than they have at CH. Just because CH is open to the public, it doesn't mean ALL of it is open to the public. My guess is, the reception, dining and drawing rooms. I read that POW had part of CH converted into a self contain flat, which means NONE of the public would have access to that. Besides, as I said the Royals have access to so many properties across London and around the country. I suspect when PH is meeting up with CD it wouldn't be at her flat because it has been public sometime she has been living in Belgravia, therefore that surely would be an open invitation for those who mean to harm? "Well, there were 3 of us in the flat, so it was a bit crowded."  She is going to Cape Town for a “ last blast” with pals before starting work The press are so confused about the whole deferral thing that I am beginning to wonder if she has a deferral. For a start she hasn't completed her year at LPC.

why would CD and her mom do a tour? Hasn't Chelsy been to Clarence House prior to that?

The majority of poster discussion are most likely referring to the paparazzi photo of Chelsy and Mrs. Beverly coming out of a taxi at the gates of Clarence House - dated August 18, 2008. The tabloids who purchased those photos said they were to have 'tea' with Prince Harry. The remaining royals that live in CH, at that time were in Balmoral, working in the military or out of the country. Every year as I mentioned and anyone may see it in the British Monarchy and/or POW official sites, the crown estates have there yearly touring period for the public. And if I'm not mistaken anyone may also go to the souvenir shop and have tea, without PH
