Kate Middleton and Prince William have a house that many Britons don’t even know about: a country house on the Queen’s estate in Scotland.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge split most of the time between London, Kensington Palace and Anmer Hall, their country house on Queen’s Sandringham estate in Norfolk.
But Tam-Na-Ghar has especially happy memories for Kate and William, a place they often visited when they went out, the Mirror reported.
And the royal couple even did the breeding: Prince George, 7; Prince Charlotte, 5; and Prince Louis, 2, in the three-bedroom house to stay two summers ago.
The house, gifted to William by his great-grandmother the Queen Mother before she died in 2002, is close to the place where Prince Charles and Camilla live on the estate: Birkhall.
Balmoral Castle is the jewel in the crown of the complex of 150 buildings, where the queen and Prince Philip spend their summers.
On the land there are also several cottages that real renters rent to tourists when they are not there.
