Prince William and Kate Middleton have inherited a “secret” home set on an estate in rural Wales since the death of the Queen last month. Situated in a corner of Carmarthenshire, the sprawling property was bought by King Charles 15 years ago and it was a favourite place for himself and Camilla to visit.

"I did wonder if I’d been a bit cheeky, but I have a feeling she didn’t mind.” Baroness Floella Benjamin – who met the Queen many times – described the “twinkle” in her eyes whenever her face lit up with laughter, and ex-prime minister Theresa May had the House of Commons in fits of laughter when she shared a memory of attending a royal picnic at Balmoral.
May confessed that, as she carried a plate of cheese from a hamper, “The cheese fell on the floor. I had a split-second decision to make.
