LUXURY AND LEMON-SCENTED SHEETS

-

THE Queen and Prince Philip are driving to anmer hall from sandringha­m on the 27th for tea, followed the next day by the Wessex family — Edward, sophie, Louise and James.

according to a source: ‘the Cambridges will want to ensure comfort, relaxation and traditiona­l food is on offer.’ says another: ‘middletons take note: this is William’s territory.’

the little details will be down to resident perfection­ist Kate with the help of her italian housekeepe­r antonella and her team.

stylish and comfortabl­e, anmer hall, pictured, is full of new sofas, artfully mis- matched club chairs, and cashmere throws all bought with the help of interior designer Ben Pentreath, a man who’s unafraid of colour, pattern or wallpaper.

all candles are removed to the flower room during the daylight hours so t hat George doesn’t crash into them. it’s a proper country house and the place will be full of plants, locally bought by Kate. Winter Wonderland roses and white freesias are ev e r y where. the huge Christmas tree is ready with twinkling lights and baby animal tree decoration­s — i ncluding baby wallabies ‘ to remind George of his trip to australia’ — from other countries.

On arrival, the middletons would have found in their bedrooms — alongside their high thread- count sheets from a firm such as Frette, sprayed with lemon linen spray, and many cushions — a tray of still and sparkling water and highgrove biscuits by their bedside.

‘William wants anmer hall to run l i ke a well- oiled machine,’ says one in their circle. ‘he insists on no stress and no fuss.’
