A tree house that once belonged to Princes William and Harry has been restored for a new generation of royal children to enjoy.

The tree house was built in 1989 for the brothers at the Prince and Princess of Wales' country home Highgrove House in Gloucestershire. It includes a retractable rope ladder which William wanted so he could be left alone if he so desired!

The retreat has been restored for George and Charlotte and other grandchildren in the future.

Prince Charles has also been given a beautiful artisan shepherd's hut
which has been placed on the edge of Highgrove's wildflower meadow. The hut which has a day bed and wood burner was a gift to Prince Charles for George's first birthday last year.

Dorset company Plankbridge donated the hut to thank The Prince of Wales whose Prince's Trust gave support to the company when it was a start up.

George and Carole Beach Photos

Photos of Prince George and his grandma Carole Middleton enjoying a trip to the beach near Anmer Hall have appeared on the internet.

Carole, George and the Cambridge's dog Lupo were snapped playing in the sand on the morning of George's second birthday.

Later that day a birthday party was held at Anmer Hall for a dozen little friends. The Queen, Prince Philip and Carole Middleton were among the guests.

As the beach photos were taken at a time when privacy was expected I have chosen not to add the snaps to this blog.
