Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge and Prince William have increased the load of engagements they carry out on behalf of the Royal Family as the Queen and Prince Charles remained in isolation because of the coronavirus. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have ramped up their advocacy efforts to support NHS staff and social carers take care of their mental health during the outbreak all the while juggling homeschooling their elder children, George and Charlotte, in their country home at Anmer Hall, which was a wedding present from the Queen. The pair have been advised to enjoy their country retreat with their family now as they are likely to have little time for Anmer Hall the more duties they take on.

Online magazine The Talko reported: “There are definitely some benefits to moving up in the ranks, like having access to income from the Duchy of Cornwall.
“But not all of the changes will be fun for Prince William and Kate.
“They love spending time with their family in Anmer Hall, which was a wedding present from the Queen herself.
“But most of the time they reside in an apartment within Kensington Palace, which is a much more convenient location when it comes to performing royal duties.”

The magazine added: “When Prince Charles takes the throne, it’s likely William and Kate will spend a lot more time in Kensington Palace instead of being able to escape to Anmer Hall.”
However, royals have long built up strong connections with the dozens of residences the Royal Family owns or has in use throughout the country.
The Queen is known to have a fondness for Windsor Castle, where she is currently sheltering with Prince Philip, and was left devastated when a fire ravaged the castle in 1992.
Prince Charles and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall have their family home at Highgrove House in Gloucestershire but have their official residence at Clarence House in London whenever they are on duty.
