Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Princess Louis, live in a state of the art flat that has the charm and history of centuries past. According to MArie Claire, the residence has a panic room and a secret tunnel that will go a long way toward helping them remain safe at home if the need arises.

The residence is called an apartment but, according to the Mirror it is a full fledged home with 20 rooms, five reception rooms, three main bedrooms, dressing rooms, night and day nurseries, and staff residences.
The outlet states that they are protected, “from biological warfare,” via the panic room and escape tunnel. “Kate and William’s royal apartment at Kensington Palace includes a panic room with an air filtration system, guarding against biological warfare, and an escape tunnel.”

In the past, brothers Prince William and Harry had spilled the beans on Apartment 1A’s secret tunnel. Apparently the brothers used the tunnel as a clandestine entrance to the palace when they lived there with their late mother, Princess Diana. Lest you think that the future heir and his family are the only protected royals, think again.
High-tech security ops are in place for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, as well. She reportedly has a panic room at both Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle, which are, “encased in 18-inch thick, bullet-resistant, fire-retardant steel walls,” according to the Global Citizen. Despite the modern apparatus it did not deter an intruder who once confronted her in her room; she calmly talked him down before security arrived.

Additionally, Prince Charles and Camilla’s Highgrove home has its own iron clad room said to be the size of a shipping container. The outlet reports that each royal panic room, “can be used in matters of emergency … And all royal panic rooms are designed to ensure that the monarch and her three heirs can survive for at least a week.”
