While the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge spend much of their time at their Kensington Palace apartment in London, the couple also calls Norfolk home thanks to their Anmer Hall residence. In fact, at the beginning of the pandemic, Kate Middleton and Prince William temporarily moved to Anmer Hall with their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, for safety. And according to a new report in People magazine, the duchess always wanted to raise her children in the countryside.

A source recently told People, "Even if she were married to a banker, I don’t think she would be much different ... She would have wanted to be a country mom and be in town occasionally. I don’t think she would have been living a very different life."

Meanwhile, a friend revealed to the publication that Duchess Kate is "very chilled at home ... It’s a normal, busy family home with kids running around and knocking things over. There’s no airs and graces."

In fact, Kate's home life is apparently very normal, despite the fact that she's married to the future King of England. "At the end of the day, she’s in training to be a future queen, but honestly you would never know it," a source revealed to People about the Duchess of Cambridge. "If you go round to her house, you get a cup of tea, and it’s often William who makes it! It’s a lovely, welcoming house, not a fancy, stuffy palace in any way."
