Inside Kate Middleton and Prince William's luxury bespoke 20-room second home

Royal fans got a glimpse into Duke and Duchess of Cambridge 's kitchen this weekend during the Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

And now many are keen to get a sneak peek inside Anmer Hall, the ten-bedroom country home on the Queen's Sandringham Estate, in Norfolk.

It's where William and Kate spend much of their time with their children and fans were keen to see more after The Duchess of Cambridge, 40, was photographed baking with Prince George, eight, Princess Charlotte, seven, and Prince Louis, four, ahead of a Jubilee event.

It's not known if the video was filmed at Kensington Palace, the royal's London pad, or at Anmer Hall, where the family spent a lot of time during the pandemic.

The couple is believed to have spent upward of £1.5 million renovating the property - with Kate taking charge of changing the interiors, reports OK! magazine.

The four-storey ten bedroom home was useful during the pandemic - with the couple both taking royal engagements from there.

On a Zoom call, Prince William gave people a look inside his office while chatting about football. Another meeting revealed the full ceiling-to-floor bookcases in view.

And the royal couple was previously seen filming in what is believed to be the family's living room.

And they've taken some sweet photographs there - including Princess Charlotte's first birthday, where she was captured at home on a plaid patterned armchair.

Tthe young royal was snapped on a wicker chair in what commentators believe is her nursery - which has been used by Prince Louis since then.

She was also seen posing in front of a day bed covered in coordinating scatter cushions, and Prince George was photographed clutching his baby sister while sitting on a cream upholstered chair.

In another official photograph, the family can be seen cosily posing in front of their outdoor log pile.

The home previously had its own swimming pool and tennis court, which reports say Kate and William decided to replace with an artificial lawn because of their young kids.

It’s reported Kate insisted on ensuring the kitchen was suitable for young children and designed with little ones in mind.

Discussing the kitchen filmed in the recent Jubilee video, interior designer Benji Lewis told FEMAIL: "Whilst the overall feel of the kitchen is homely, it’s unfussy and unpretentious.

"It's certainly not a kitchen in which one would feel required to stand on ceremony, there’s nothing flashy about it, on the contrary it’s very normal with its simple knobs (some unpainted even), some open shelving and a lick of pale blue paint against soft grey or tan walls."

Royal fans also got a rare glimpse into Frogmore Cottage this weekend as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle celebrated daughter Lilibet's first birthday.

The low-key back garden picnic took place during the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations - and a set of sweet photos from the event gave us an insight into the cottage.
