Prince William and Kate Middleton have a secret third home that is said to be so private that very few photos of it exist.
The Cambridges have their base at Kensington Palace, west London, where they have spent the majority of their time since the birth of Prince Louis in 2018.
And they also have Anmer Hall, the royal couple's country residence in Norfolk, where Prince George and Princess Charlotte were raised, reports the Express.
But there is also a more remote home, a three-bedroom cottage, that they have on the 50,000-acre Balmoral estate in Scotland that is so private, few photos are thought to exist of it.
The home, called Tam-Na-Ghar cottage, was gifted to Prince William by his late great-grandmother, the Queen Mother, shortly before her death in 2002, reported CambridgeshireLive.
The Queen's Balmoral estate in Scotland sees members of the Royal Family come and go all summer.
Situated in Aberdeenshire, the monarch's holiday home is regularly visited by William and Kate along with their children George, Charlotte, and Louis.
When they visit they have the option of the private getaway which William and Kate have reportedly used since they were students at St Andrew's University and friends have said they have had their happiest times there.
"The Queen has a lot of guests coming and to ease the pressure the Cambridges are likely to stay at the cottage," a Vanity Fair source said over a visit in 2019.
"That could have added benefits for everyone as it means more space in the castle.”
There are 150 buildings in total on the Balmoral estate, including the main Balmoral Castle, and also Birkhall, which is owned by Prince Charles.
William and Kate are set to use their Scottish and Norfolk homes more in the future said royal author Katie Nicholl.
"Summer holidays at Anmer are the perfect way for Kate and William to decompress," she told OK!
"If there are royal engagements for them, they’ll be few and far between.
"While in the past we’ve seen the couple enjoy more lavish holidays skiing or visiting sunnier climates, they’ve been adopting a more traditional royal approach and spending their time at royal residences in the UK instead.
"This could obviously be the result of Covid travel restrictions, but I also believe that Kate and William are transforming into the future King and Queen and therefore are adopting more traditional practices."
