00:00 The Prince and Princess of Wales have opted for a quieter life in Windsor after spending

00:04 years living in the Goldfish Bowl of London at Kensington Palace.

00:15 They prefer to keep their four-bedroom home, Adelaide Cottage, rather private, with very

00:19 limited photos of the property, however, an unearthed image shows just how pristine their

00:24 grounds once were.

00:33 An image shared by the Royal Collection Trust, showed King George V getting stuck into mowing

00:38 the grass within the stunning gardens.

00:47 He was dressed in a full suit and even top hat for his green-fingered foray, and the

00:51 black-and-white photo also revealed the immaculately pruned hedges in the grounds.

01:03 Truly stunning!

01:04 They captioned the photo, "Are you a perfectly striped lawn fan, or do you prefer to let

01:08 it grow a bit longer and enjoy the pollinator-friendly wildflowers that will grow?"

01:19 Either way, it's unlikely that you complete this garden chore wearing a suit and top hat,

01:24 as King George V is seen wearing here at Adelaide Cottage in 1915.

01:36 Fans loved the hilarious snap, with one writing, "How . . . marvellously . . . impractical

01:41 to mow the lawn in a top hat," and another joking, "I think ill dress like that for gardening

01:46 duties from now on."

01:55 What else do we know about Prince William and Princess Kate's Royal Home?

01:59 The Wales's Home is located on the Windsor Home Park Estate, just a 10-minute walk from

02:04 Windsor Castle.

02:12 Archive images and paintings are the best look we've had at the grand exterior, which

02:16 is straight from a fairy tale.

02:24 A historic painting of the garden reveals what a botanical haven it once was, showing

02:29 that it used to have an outdoor fountain and circular flowerbeds.

02:35 It is unknown if these features remain now that William and Kate live there.

02:44 While the bedroom hasn't been pictured, it has been described by the Sun, and apparently,

02:49 it features golden dolphins and ceiling rope decorations recycled from a 19th-century royal

02:54 yacht, creating an interesting nautical-inspired theme.

03:05 The house was originally built in 1831 and masterminded by architect Geoffrey Wyville,

03:10 and parts of the property were taken from Royal Lodge, which is currently Prince Andrew's

03:15 home, where he resides with his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson.

03:26 William and Kate's children's school, Lambrook, is nearby and the kids are said to enjoy their

03:30 local area where they can bike ride to their heart's content around the grounds

03:34 and the garden.
