It has long been said that Windsor Castle is the most haunted of all the royal residences with over 25 reported experiences of ghosts and spirits - but it isn't the only famous home that has reports of paranormal activity.There is one home on the vast Sandringham Estate in Norfolk that was never lived in by the late Queen, despite the significant connections it holds to her relatives. There may be a reason for this, however, as it has long been said there is one historic resident who may be outstaying his welcome.The royal in question was involved in a number of scandals during his lifetime and would have been King if a tragedy hadn't happened.

There are many shocking and strange stories that have been reported from each royal residence, whether that is Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle or Kensington Palace. But one of the most unique took place at Sandringham House in 2000 and was revealed in the diaries of the late society columnist Kenneth Rose when they were published after his death.

It is no secret that the Prince and Princess of Wales went to incredibly privileged schools and received the best education possible. This is also the case for their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, as the royal trio have already had an enviable start to their studies.

Although the royals can afford personal chefs to whip up the very best meals, they don’t rely on professional help all the time.The Princess of Wales and Duchess of Sussex are known to be highly nifty in the kitchen, and Michelle Thole, from the Keeping Up With The Windsors podcast, says: “We’ve seen many times that they are both into cooking. It’s not necessarily about dishing up cordon bleu-style food, just regular stuff for their families. It means we relate to them more.” Princes William and Harry are also willing to pitch in, and Harry presented Meghan with a three-course dinner for her 39th birthday in 2019.

skipped out on merry festivities with the royal family last year, and according to royal expert and historian Tessa Dunlop, the couple will be looking to sit out a trip to Harry’s home soil again this year.“Christmas is coming and we want Meghan and Harry to inject the Windsor brand with a bit of transatlantic tension,” Dunlop told the Mirror. “But don’t hold your breath, just as Harry was a no-show at Balmoral this summer it is unlikely that he’ll grace Sandringham with his presence.”“Far from buying a penthouse near London, it doesn’t even look like King Charles will get a Christmas cuddle with those absent grandchildren,” she added, referring to the couple’s kids Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.Harry, 39, and Meghan, 42, now have no official place to stay in the UK after the King served them an eviction notice from their former royal residence, Frogmore Cottage.Dunlop believes that the pair will “branch out and buy somewhere of their own” in what she calls “a mission-driven by homesick Harry.”“As with so many Sussex rumors, the subtext here is marital tension,” she continued.

Prince William and Kate Middleton have decided to put their three kids first despite the growing pressure on them due to their highly active roles within the monarchy since becoming the Prince and Princess of Wales.
