Kate Middleton’s fall home makeover has proved that terracotta tones and family photos are the perfect way to go to create autumnal cosiness.
- The Princess of Wales has appeared in a moving video during Addiction Awareness Week as she shared a message of support.
- Her background and surroundings in this special new video are wonderfully autumnal and show a huge amount of consideration.
- This royal news comes as it was revealed King Charles and Camilla's most controversial moment is to be depicted in 'The Crown'.
On October 30, Kate Middleton took to social media to share a touching message in the form of a video during Addiction Awareness Week. This saw the Princess of Wales speak words of hope regarding changing attitudes towards addiction and showcased her compassion for those suffering. It’s not known exactly where the Princess of Wales filmed her poignant video message.
However, since she’s believed to have recently spent much of her children's school half-term with them in Berkshire, it’s thought this could potentially have been shot at Adelaide Cottage, Windsor. The family moved there from Kensington Palace in September, though the future King and Queen Consort are understood to have retained their former residence as a London base.
But whether it was filmed in Windsor or London, Kate Middleton’s fall home makeover has given her backdrop a cozy feel.
Today, during #AddictionAwarenessWeek, I want to offer a message of support to those who are continuing to suffer. I know this was not a choice. Recovery is possible. https://t.co/h4DpXBtYwn pic.twitter.com/ufTcMnX765October 30, 2022
Visible just behind the Princess of Wales on her sofa are a set of terracotta-toned patterned cushions, complete with a neutral background shade of cream that really makes the earthy floral motif shine. And Kate’s household makeover for the season didn’t stop at the soft furnishings as the nature-loving Princess also brought the outdoors indoors in the form of some beautiful deep red flowers.
Perched on a console table behind the sofa, the flowers add a wonderful vibrant touch and echo the paler reddish brown color of the cushions’ pattern. Alongside the flowers and a softly-lit lamp, three photographs are visible - each of them understood to have been taken in autumn.

Next to this is a photo of Prince George and Princess Charlotte on her first day at their old school, Thomas’s Battersea, in September 2019. Beside this on the right-hand side of the table is one of the entire family that will likely be familiar to fans.
Back in 2020, the then-Duke and Duchess of Cambridge released a family photo to mark the festive season that is said to have been taken that autumn at their Anmer Hall home in Norfolk. Depicting the family wearing practical boots and knitwear, sitting on a hay bale, the snap couldn’t have been more fall-appropriate.
The picture is believed to have been taken sometime that autumn ahead of it being shared with others in December 2020.
The choice of photographs as well as the décor surrounding Kate Middleton creates a real sense of autumn and suggests that some great consideration went into these aspects of the room. Fans will just have to wait and see whether the Princess of Wales switches up her photographs and other background details for future videos in 2022 as winter draws ever nearer.
