The family often visit the home on weekends and during the school holidays, and stayed there during the coronavirus lockdown. They primarily live at a £31million townhouse in Holland Park, but also have an incredible Miami penthouse which they use during time in the US for David's work with his soccer team, Inter Miami.

Prince William and Kate
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were given Anmer Hall as a wedding gift from the Queen when they married in 2011. The couple lived there in the early years of their children's lives before returning to London, and now tend to use the house for breaks during the school holidays.

Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda Holden has an idyllic cottage in the Chipping Norton area of the Cotswolds, which she painstakingly renovated after purchasing it in 2012. The property provides the perfect weekend and holiday home for Amanda, her husband Chris Hughes, and their two children, and the photos she has shared on social media reveal it is beautifully designed throughout.
Prince Charles and Camilla
The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall may have Clarence House as their official London residence, but they love spending time at their country retreats – the Highgrove Estate and Birkhall on the Queen's Balmoral Estate.
Prince Charles bought Highgrove in 1980, and transforming the garden has become a passion project for him. The gardens are open for visitors at certain dates throughout the year, and Prince Charles said it is one of his "great joys" to see the pleasure it can bring to people.
