How To Become Kate Middleton And Prince William’s Neighbor, And Signs Kate Is A Beauty Rebel [Video]

It’s probably every royal watcher’s dream to be the nearby neighbor of the it couple of the royal family- Kate Middleton and Prince William, of course. Well, the opportunity has recently presented itself by way of a lovely, yet expansive Tudor castle that has come on the market and is located quite near the Duchess and Duke of Cambridge’s Anmer Hall residence. It can be all yours if you are up for forking over the hefty asking price of £3.95 million.

The Daily Mail notes that this castle, which seems as though it’s been plucked straight out of a fairytale, is “a stunning Grade I Tudor mansion in Norfolk [named] Wolterton Manor House, in East Barsham.” In addition, the publication relays that “the stately brick home includes a Great Hall and seven bedrooms over four and a half acres.”

The sizable property and dwelling, which is so near to Kate and Will, is said to be similar in style and decor to that of King Henry VIII’s palace at Hampton Court, and it’s rumored that Wolterton Manor House played host to King Henry on occasion

The publication outlines the history of the property, which has been a getaway to Will and Kate’s renowned ancestor, in detail.

“First built for Sir Henry Fermor, it’s been privately owned for centuries – mostly by aristocratic families – before being purchased by pop artist and businessman, Roy Griffiths, last year.Griffiths had initially planned to turn the property into a boutique hotel, though objecting neighbours ultimately stalled his plans.”

Take a tour around the grand residence and property of Wolterton Manor House and see what it would be like to take on the role of neighbor to Kate Middleton and her Prince.

Beauty of home and beauty of surroundings is a given in the lavish life of royalty, but it’s clear that the Duchess brings her own brilliance and beauty to the royal way of life. Kate is certainly in a league all her own in regards to the beauty and fashion of the royals. As Glamour indicates, Kate is even a bit of a rebel when it comes to her makeup application, fashion selections and couture wear. Recently, it was reported that Kate often strides around in wedge-heeled shoes, a form of shoe that the Queen is not fond of. Glamour also notes that Kate brings a subtle rebellious and edgy appeal to each look she steps out in.

“When [Kate Middleton is] in the mood, she’ll occasionally line the inner corner of her eyes for a more graphic touch that gives her just a hint of edginess. She went sultry on us with a dark gray smoky eye for an event at the National Portrait Gallery last year. [Kate] tucked pearls into her up-do while touring Southeast Asia in 2012; she’s been known to wear a relaxed ponytail to dressy events, like the Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom premiere.”

Kate Middleton, rebel or not, has got the fashion sense and beautifying style that inspires every woman to be her own duchess.
