Anmer Hall, the Norfolk residence gifted to Prince William and Princess Kate by the late Queen after their 2011 wedding, has an unexpected resident – a ghost. According to paranormal historian Richard Felix, a Catholic priest’s ghost resides at the mansion. The priest was hanged, drawn, and quartered for high treason, although he was executed in York, he seems to have returned to Anmer Hall.
Reportedly, the royal couple was informed about the ghost before moving in, to which Prince William humorously responded, “No old hall would be complete without a ghost, would it?” The historic 18th-century home on the Sandringham Estate underwent significant renovations, making it a comfortable country retreat for the royal family.
From 2015 to 2017, Anmer Hall was the main residence for William, Kate, and their children, but it now serves as their second home. The family has since moved to Windsor, where they live in Adelaide Cottage. They often retreat to Anmer Hall during school holidays and enjoy the peace and serenity it offers.
