The Fort Belvedere Conundrum: House with a Haunted History
Lastly, the royal family’s potential move to Fort Belvedere has sparked rumors and superstitions. William and Kate are reportedly considering relocating from Adelaide Cottage to this historic estate.
The House’s Controversial Past and Superstitions
Fort Belvedere carries a weighty historical significance—most notably, it was the site where King Edward VIII abdicated in 1936 to marry Wallis Simpson. This association has led many in the royal circle to believe the house is "cursed," with Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, reportedly avoiding visits due to these superstitions. Some members of the Windsor family are said to consider the property unlucky, fearing its haunted past might bring misfortune.
