Heir to the throne Prince William and wife Kate have inherited a hideaway home since the death of the Queen. The ancient property, in south Wales, was bought by King Charles 15 years ago.
Since the Queen's death William has been bestowed the title Prince of Wales. As such he has inherited an array of other titles and property including the Duchy of Cornwall and the Duchy Estate, The Mirror reports.
Kensington Palace has confirmed that everything which forms part of the Duchy Estate belongs to the Duchy of Cornwall. That includes Llwynywermod Estate in Camarthenshire.

The estate was bought by the Duchy of Cornwall in 2007 for a reported cost of £1.2m. Charles and Camilla would use the estate - made up of three cottages, a Grade-II listed barn and a main house - to enjoy breaks surrounded by 192 acres of Welsh countryside.
Charles had reportedly spent as long as 40 years searching for the perfect country retreat before settling on Llwynywermod. Parts of the estate can be booked out by families or couples looking for a relaxing break.
Prince William and Kate previously lived for three years in Anglesey in north Wales when William was stationed in the area as an RAF search and rescue helicopter pilot between 2010 and 2013. The new Waleses have three permanent homes in England, and last month moved with their three children to Adelaide Cottage on the grounds of Windsor Castle.
But they do have a clear fondness for Wales, having promised to visit regularly since inheriting their titles - including a trip to Cardiff before Christmas. They are said to be keen to use their new platform to promote Wales.
