Royal editor Ingrid Seward told Fabulous: “Their home, Anmer Hall has every amenity imaginable and is a small animal haven including guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits and chickens.
“Then there is the pony Charlotte was given for her 7th birthday in 2022.
“It is small enough to be transported relatively easily between the Royal Mews at Windsor where all the royal children’s ponies are kept and the stables at Sandringham.”
Anmer Hall was originally built in 1802 and was given as a lavish wedding present from the Queen to William and Kate after they tied the knot in 2011.
Anmer Hall is located on the grounds of the sprawling, 20,000-acre Sandringham Estate, which means there is plenty of space for the youngsters to run around.
A source told Fabulous: “Climbing frames, a climbing wall and swings are a big part of the family’s outdoor activity scene.
