Kate Middleton and Prince William have a house that many Britons don’t even know about – a cottage on the Queen’s 50,000-acre property in Scotland.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge spent most of their time between London, at Kensington Palace and Anmer Hall, their country home on the Queen’s Sandringham property in Norfolk.
But Tam-Na-Ghar has fond memories for Kate and William, a place they often visited when they met, Mirror said.
And the royal couple even packed their baby – Prince George, 7 years old; Prince Charlotte, 5 years old; and Prince Louis, 2 – in the three-bedroom house for a stay two summers ago.
The cottage, a gift from William to his great-grandmother Queen before he died in 2002, is located next to the place where Prince Charles and Camilla live on the Birkhall estate.
Balmoral Castle is the jewel in the crown of the 150-building complex, where the Queen and Prince Philip spend their summers.
There are also several cottages on the land that the rents rent to tourists – when they are not there.
