If you've been wondering how on Earth they leave their homes without being spotted,  has the answer.

The royals are flown in by helicopter and then whisked off in a chauffeured car which is waiting for them there. Glam right?

The chopper lands on a private area of Hyde Park bordering the palace grounds which is cordoned off by a low fence.

But members of the public can watch the drama unfold if they happen to be walking past, while armed police officers stand guard on the lawn.

Her Maj was most recently spotted flying into Kensington Palace in early May, to meet her new great-grandson Prince Louis, who had been born a week earlier.

Kate and Wills live in a sprawling 20-bedroom house in the palace, which is split over four storeys - with nine bedrooms of staff quarters.

Meghan and Harry, who currently live in the two-bed Nottingham Cottage within the palace grounds, plan to move into a much larger 21-bedroom apartment next door to Kate and Wills when renovations are completed.

The houses have adjoining doors, meaning the couples will be free to pop round for a cuppa without getting spotted.

And any daughters born to Harry and Meghan will not inherit their title - here's why.
