It looks like adorable Prince George could soon have a new friend to play with now that he and his parents have moved into their beautiful and eerie new home.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their little royal took up residence at Anmer Hall in Norfolk a few weeks ago, orginally owned by the Walpoles – a famous English aristocratic family.
Legend has it the ghost of St Henry Walpole, who was hung, drawn and quartered more than 400 years ago, still wanderers the grounds of the Georgian country house.
According to Sunday Express, the spectre has been spotted in the gardens and when the Norfolk winds blow, you can hear him calling.
Featuring 10 bedrooms, a tennis court, swimming pool and various outbuildings, the royal couple’s newly renovated abode is part of the 20,000 acre Sandringham estate privately owned by William’s grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.
And despite having been warned that the house is haunted, Prince William and Catherine decided to take it up anyway.
“They were warned about it before they moved in and had a joke about it but their attitude was: No old home would be complete without its ghost,” A royal insider said.
Meanwhile, Alan Murdie, chairman of the Ghost Club, said Prince William would be used to ghostly presences.
“There are a number of royal-related ghosts,” he said.
“For example, Buckingham Palace is a relatively new building but it stands on monastic land.
“Henry VIII did away with the monasteries and to this day at the palace, the ghost of a monk appears on the terrace on Christmas Day.
