WATCH: The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's home video at Anmer Hall  The Duke and Duchess of Kent  Around 40 years before it became home to William and Kate, Anmer Hall was leased to the Queen's cousin the Duke of Kent. He lived in the property with his wife Katharine and three children from 1972 to 1990, before the family relocated to Oxfordshire.

During the decade they stayed there, the family were regularly visited by young William and Harry  so the home likely holds special memories for the Duke. James Everett  Anmer Hall is located on the Queen's Sandringham estate  From 2000, the home was rented by James Everett, owner of kitchen timber company Norfolk Oak, and his wife Jayne. However, their lease was terminated early to allow for the refurbishment of Anmer Hall before the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge moved in. After renovations had been completed, William and Kate used the property as their main residence while the Duke worked as a pilot for East Anglian Air Ambulance until 2017 when they made the move to Apartment 1A, just in time for George to start school and Charlotte to enrol in nursery.
