Madde's new luxury home was rented for 170,000 - a month
Princess Madeleine and Chris O'Neill live in one of the world's most exclusive neighborhoods.
For the London residence, the landlord has requested a corresponding amount of SEK 170,000 (17000 €, over 20000 USD) - a month.
Princess Madeleine moved to London 2015 after living in New York and a short period in Sweden. Her husband Chris O'Neill has previously explained that the family moved to make it easier for him to handle his business.
Expressen can now tell how the family lives in one of London's most exclusive districts, Knightsbridge. The property - which includes three bedrooms - is about 250 square meters in size.
The couple are close to Hyde Park, where they have been seen walking several times with the children Leonore, 3 and Nicolas, 2. Along the streets are cars of the brands Rolls-Royce, Bentley and Range Rover parked. Princess Madeleine and Chris O'Neills have chosen to drive Swedish and have a Volvo XC 90.
According to Peter Taylor, a broker at Maskells Real Estate in Knightsbridge, the area is one of the most luxurious places to live in. He compares to expensive addresses in world metropolitan areas like New York, Hong Kong, Sydney and Los Angeles.
- It is definitely one of the most expensive areas in the world. It is the international elite who lives there. These may be celebrities, billionaires from Russia or rich people from the Middle East.
In connection with the move in 2015, Chris O'Neill told the Expressen that the family had found a home that was about to be completed. The refurbished three-storey house had then been on the market with a requested rent on what, at today's rate, corresponds to approximately SEK 170,000 a month.
- It's not an unusual rent for a house or a more exclusive apartment in this area, said Peter Taylor.
The director of the press department, Margareta Thorgren says about Princess Madeleine and Chris O'Neill's life in London:
- They are doing well in London, that's the information I have.
We have information that their housing costs around SEK 170,000 a month. What can you say about it?
- There's nothing I know about. It is entirely a private residence that they have in London and that has nothing to do with royal court, it is a completely private residence.
