The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have a permanent residence within Kensington Palace, but they have spent a lot of the coronavirus pandemic at their countryside retreat in Norfolk.

Prince George makes full use of the family's wooden swing

Within the garden, the family have a wooden playpark as well as a small playhouse, which was revealed when the Duchess was promoting her Hold Still book campaign. We've also seen Prince George playing on a wooden swing, which is believed to have been bought by Prince Charles as a wedding present for the Duke and Duchess.

The acres of land, rustic wooden swing, fun playpark and playhouse are all features that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have, too, over in their mansion in Santa Barbara. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex moved into their vast Montecito home in July 2020, and since then the public have seen small glimpses of it via video calls and a handful of images they have released.
