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. Anmer Hall is a three-storey property located on the Queen's Sandringham Estate, and it boasts plenty of outdoor space for their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, to enjoy.

Their vast grounds were revealed in a recent home video to mark the couple's 10th wedding anniversary.

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.

It is reported that the family property has a playpark for Archie

To celebrate Archie's second birthday, a sepia-toned shot was published of the little one clutching a display of birthday balloons and stretching out in front of him, the seemingly endless lush gardens can be seen.

At Christmas time, the family Christmas card showed Archie playing in his beautiful playhouse, which is located within the grounds of their LA mansion, as is believed to have come with the property.
