Osborne Cottage, home of Princess Beatrice, goes on sale in England for £625,000
I know that among my readers there are corrupt officials of poor imagination who cannot think where to spend their pilfered money. I advise them to consider the following lot. In England, Osborne Cottage is up for sale, part of the estate built as a place of seclusion for Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Here, after her marriage, their youngest daughter Princess Beatrice lived with her husband, Prince Battenberg. The cottage was first sold in 1913 and has been in private hands ever since. The building, with four bedrooms, three reception rooms and a private garden, is on offer for a mere £625,000. The house, in excellent condition and with surviving artefacts of royal life, offers a splendid opportunity to bask in borrowed glory
