They are grace and favor apartments and will likely continue to be used by family until they die.
Yes. They are not going to evict a bunch of 80 year olds. I'm sure the Queen made arrangements for all of them. At the same time I'm guessing they will be the last extended family to have housing for life. It won't be that way going forward - although at the moment Andrew's kids are still in grace and favor housing. I believe Anne bought her two kids houses with money the Queen gave her, so they are technically not in Crown housing. And Lady Louise and James still live with their parents.
Anne owns her Gatcombe estate outright because the Queen gifted it to her. Her children and ex-husband all live on or near the property.
It’s 750 acres, plenty room for everyone.
Most of it is a working farm that generates revenue to maintain it. It is also used for many events, such as horse trials. In her 70th birthday documentary, Anne’s tell of her returning late at night from royal engagements and putting on boots to feed animals or muck out stables. Her mother often did the same thing when in the country.
And expensive to maintain.
