Thinking of Harry and the years ahead and residences, the one scenario pops into my head. I can see him arriving for the weekend at Will and Kate's home with kids running out the door screaming "Yay!! Uncle Harry's here!!".
As close as William and Harry are and the way Harry has with children, he's bound to be a very well beloved uncle. I really don't think Harry will maintain an "estate" kind of home until the time comes that he wishes to marry and start his own family. Once he does, I think we're going to see two close knit families where the kids are close as good friends with each other. Those summers at Balmoral will be great.

What a lovely account of things to come, and the "Summers at Balmoral" scenario :-)

Personally I think Harry will remain living at Kensington Palace now. I think if he needs more room once/if he marries and has kids then he will move into a larger apartment within Kensington Palace a and when they become available. For now his 1 bedroom apartment is fine until he moves into the small cottage W&K live in.
I can't see Harry moving into Clarence House, I just don't think its very him but who knows years from now. Personally I wouldn't be at all surprised if W&K live in Clarence House rather than Buckingham Palace when they become King and Queen while Harry remains at Kensington Palace with a possible country home (Highgrove most likely).

Didn't Harry previously live at Clarence House? I don't see how a house can't be "very him" when he's lived their for numerous years before.
As for moving in with his brother and sister in law? Bit too clingy much?
There is no chance that William and Catherine will live at Clarence rather than BP when they become King and Queen. Buckingham Palace is the home of The Monarch.

What I meant by not very him is that its an extremely big house and I just don;t think that's very Harry, remember he has just moved into a 1 bedroom apartment in Kensington Palace. I just thing if given the choice Harry would prefer something smaller for him and his family. Also there is a difference from living with your father in his house and choosing that house for yourself.
As for moving in to Buckingham Palace it is said the Queen asked not to have to move into Buckingham Palace and instead stay at Clarence House but was overruled by Winston Churchill, it has been said Charles would prefer to likewise remain at Clarence House whilst using BP for official dinners, state visits and the like in the same way many other European Royals do. Its not out of the realms of possibility that W&C would not move into BP, I think they would prefer to stay in a house they can much more easily call their own with more privacy (Something William in particular craves) rather than living "above the shop"

Prince Harry's future house
In which place (castle, manor, estate, etc) do you think Prince Harry will live when he marries and have children? Prince Edward por example, moved to Bagshot Park.
I think he will probably live in Frogmore House.

I would agree that would be a good choice. Close enough to London, and he and the family dont have to live at 'Granny's'.

Clarence House or Kensington is the most obvious to me.

Clarence House is a huge expenditure for someone 3rd in line to the throne, without a huge Duchy of Cornwall type income. Though I guess it had that major redo when Camilla moved in after her divorce, so it probably needs far less updating than Frogmore would.

Well I don't see who else is going to live in it. When HM passes, Charles will be at BP whereas William will be at Kensington or in his new cottage. Everyone else has homes in the royal family whereas Harry can't live with his brother forever.

As he will drop in importance as William and Kate have children an apartment at KP should be satisfactory for Harry.
In four years time he will possibly be down to 5th - where Beatrice is now so nothing more than that - like Princess Margaret.

William will move to CH, and Harry will move into PM's old apt. It is easier to justify the millions for the redo for 2rd in line, but not the current spare. JMO.

I could see Harry having and apartment in Kensington Palace and using Frogmore as country retreat. But it does need updating since it hasn't been updated since around 1986.

Charles has already stated he intends to live at Windsor and turn BP into offices etc. I would think William & Kate would take over Clarence House. Harry may then possibly move into the current apt(cottage) William & Kate have til he marries, then into the renovated apartment of Princess Margaret.

Well that kinda depends on if he gets married before the Queen passes. If he marries before that then he would have to find another apartment at KP.

I can't see Harry taking over Highgrove - it is also quite an expansive place to run.
William will have the Duchy of Cornwall-Income one day - but Harry won't have that much - he will have to live on s.th like Edward right now.
