The royal family have rather impressive home features, everything from swimming pools to underground tunnels, but it's a humble addition that will be much loved this winter.

Many regal residences belonging to the likes of the Queen, Prince William and Kate Middleton and even Prince Harry and Meghan Markle all have one thing in common – open fires!
WATCH: How much does the royal family cost us?
Log burning stoves and fires have proven to be cheaper than electricity and gas heating to run, making them a great way to combat the cost-of-living crisis.
Direct Stoves explains: "A wood burning stove costs about a third of the price of electric heating and approximately 13% less than gas central heating for the average household."
Prince Charles has an open fire at home
Prince Charles and his wife, the Duchess of Cornwall, have revealed an open log fire inside their London home, Clarence House. A picture taken in the well-used Morning Room showed a striking open fireplace at the centre, with a cast iron screen in front and a hearth with decorative detailing.

Meghan Markle showcased her gorgeous fireplace
We've also seen Prince William, Duchess Kate and their three children pose outside next to their log store at their countryside abode of Anmer Hall. This ample collection of firewood suggests that the royals have multiple wood-burning fireplaces inside their impressive home.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may need their heating a little less now they are stateside, however, their Montecito family home has an impressive selection of grand fireplaces. Fans have been treated to a good look at their stone surround fireplace inside their home office – and we're sure it's super cosy come wintertime.
Of course, wood burners come with an initial upfront cost, but it seems like after the investment they are a great way to save on your energy bills. Would you consider a royal addition to your home?
