If you thought that wendy house was impressive, just wait until you see the two-storey cottage built for Her Majesty, which still stands today in the grounds of the Royal Lodge of Windsor.

Princess Beatrice helped to restore the house in 2012, and spoke about growing up playing in it.
Chatting to Andrew Marr on the documentary The Diamond Queen, she said: "Granny and her sister played here growing up and we've been lucky enough to play here and cousins and second cousins and it's a big family treat. It's the most glamorous Wendy House ever."
