Kate Middleton and Prince William want to raise their kids as normal as possible despite their royal blood. In fact, the royal family opted to stay in Anmer Hall to enjoy their privacy. According to reports, the Duchess of Cambridge has only very few household help in their residence. In fact, the staff has to do thrice the work for the same pay.
The Royals At Anmer Hall
According to the Week, art historian Sir Roy strong believes that Anmer Hall is a "comfortable, unpretentious Georgian" building. It has large windows with gentleness to it. The place is well located with ready access to the Duchy, Windsor, London and several racecourses.
"There is very little going on at all at Anmer," the Telegraph notes. "It is certainly not a social hotbed and there aren't any fabulous shops to visit."
This suggests that residing at Anmer Hall is a great option for Kate Middleton and Prince William, who want to raise their kids normally. The royal parents do not want Prince George and Princess Charlotte to grow up with how the royal kids are usually raised. In fact, according to the report, the royals keep their household help to a minimum.
Kate Middleton And Prince William's Household Staff
CelebDirtyLaundry suggests that due to the limited household help at the Anmer Hall, the employees have to do thrice the work for the same pay. For instance, the bodyguards are occasionally doing grocery shopping for the family or Kate sends them to pick up groceries at local shops.
The Anmer Hall has 10 bedrooms so limiting the staff will mean more work for those who are employed. Thus, the report is questioning the reason behind the limited household help. Is it because Kate Middleton and Prince William want their children to have a normal life as possible or is it because Queen Elizabeth refuses to increase their allowance for payroll? We can't tell.
For those who are wondering what type of household help Kate Middleton and Prince William posted a discreet advert in The Lady magazine, which reads, "Housekeeper sought for a large family home in Norfolk. We are looking for someone with previous housekeeping experience, ideally within a large private house, and preferably within a family environment with dogs" per the Week. The royal parent also emphasized, "discretion and loyalty is paramount."
Do you believe that the staff at the Anmer Hall have to do thrice the work for the same price because there is too much work to do and they are only very few? Did Kate and Prince William do this to raise their kids normally or because the queen did not increase their allowance for payroll? What do you think? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.
