Kate Middleton and Prince William’s very low key date nights – and incredible way they’re kept secret
Prince William and Princess Kate are famous around the world, and that can certainly make date nights a little tricky.
The royal couple attract huge crowds wherever they go, meaning their private moments are all the more precious. But they have a refuge that offers them the chance to have time together as a ‘normal’ family.
Anmer Hall in Norfolk was given to William and Kate as a wedding present by the late Queen. It is the couple’s favourite residence – not least because the locals go out of their way to respect their royal neighbours.
According to royal expert Katie Nicholl, the couple are even able to frequently enjoy low-key date nights – and it’s all thanks to the discretion of fellow residents. “The locals are incredibly protective of them, you don’t often see people get out their camera phones and record them. They are left to just get on with a family occasion,” Nicholl previously told OK!.
“If you speak to anyone from North Norfolk, they’re incredibly proud that William and Kate are continuing a love affair with Norfolk that goes back generations. Kate and William tend to go to the same places and these are places where they are known and have a good relationship with the landlord or landlady.”
She added, “They’ve been going to these places for a long time, so it’s not unusual and it’s not difficult for them to go and relax. Norfolk is one of the few places they can just enjoy ordinary, everyday experiences as a family. William and Kate often go out on date nights and you don’t hear about it.”
