Prince George’s precious gift from granddad King Charles that was also adored by William and Harry
Prince George has been passed down a precious gift from his grandfather and it’s kept in King Charles’ beloved grounds of Highgrove House. The home, which the Monarch bought in 1980, was a haven for Charles’ sons William and Harry in their younger years and now it proves to be the same for his grandchildren.
The lush greenery of the gardens where the treehouse is situated provided the perfect playground for Harry and William and childhood photographs show them laughing while playing with Charles and their late mother Diana.
As the princes grew up, another secret space provided privacy – although it perhaps was not quite as wholesome as their father’s treehouse.
Writing in his memoir Spare, Harry reveals that, in the years following his mother’s death, he and his brother would escape to Highgrove’s substantial cellar.
Jokingly calling it “Club H”, Harry recalls how the windowless space became “the perfect hangout for a teenager”. “It smelt of damp, earth, stone and moss. It smelt of cut flowers, clean dirt… and maybe a hint of beer,” Harry writes.
