William inherits forgotten royal estate Charles bought for Kate - but they never moved in

Prince William has inherited a vast country estate that King Charles initially bought for his eldest son in the hope that he would settle down to family life. The country estate in Herefordshire was acquired by the Duchy of Cornwall when William was still at university and it was tipped that Charles, then a prince, hoped his progeny would start a family of his own.

But William had other plans and development at Harewood End, which included rebuilding a grand mansion that was demolished by the SAS, was halted. But, as Gloucestershire Live reports, William has now inherited the lot as part of the £1bn Duchy of Cornwall estate - and could, if he chose, restart plans to build a grand country house on the land.
