The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who are expecting a baby for the third time, went on the tour to Scandinavia with a mission to make the relationships with Sweden and Norway stronger. On their visit to the ABBA’s homeland, the royal couple spilled an interesting truth as to where they got furniture for their kids’ rooms.
During the trip to Sweden, Prince William and Kate Middleton visited ArkDec, a national center for architecture and design that is situated in Stockholm.
There, the royals told that they bought the furniture for their kids’ rooms at IKEA.
Marcus Engman, IKEA’s head of design, met Kate and William at the center. He said that they were very keen on learning about the design process at his company.
He mentioned an interesting detail:
They also revealed that they have Ikea pieces for the children’s rooms.
Marcus also said:
I’m proud that we can suit everybody. That’s what we want Ikea to be – for the many people of the world, both royalty and ordinary people.
Royal watchers may find this down-to-earth attitude of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge quite surprising. But we have to keep in mind, even though George and Charlotte have some IKEA furniture in their rooms, they live in Kensington Palace after all, where many kings and queens, including Queen Victoria, used to live.
Kate and William moved with their kids to their new home in 2017. They previously occupied Sandringham House in Norfolk.
Kensington Palace was a home for Prince Charles and Princess Diana in 1981, who used to live in Apartment 8, which, according to The Week, has two nurseries, three kitchens, and a couple of rooms specifically dedicated to charities set up by Princess Diana.
