Prince George stands to inherit an heirloom property from his grandfather, Prince Charles, when the latter becomes the King of England. A royal expert believes that the property is ready to be transferred to the third in line to the throne as early as when he reaches 18 years old.
Royal expert Christopher Wilson said that Prince George will likely love the 18th century Cotswold stone house in Prince Charles' Highgrove estate in the Gloucestershire countryside. Prince George's father, Prince William, and his uncle, Prince Harry, apparently, won't have any interest in the house since they do not have "fond memories" in Highgrove, the expert said.
Prince Charles is, apparently, ready to say goodbye to Highgrove after he didn't renew the property's Home Farm lease for 2021. Wilson believes that the future king is signaling that he is preparing to close this chapter of his life as he will soon open a new chapter as the monarch.
The Prince of Wales bought Highgrove and the Home Farm in 1980 and mostly lived there with Princess Diana and their sons. The idyllic property has nine bedrooms and six bathrooms, and it's most famous for its beautiful gardens.
Highgrove, also, has 900 acres of farm land organically cultivated by the heir to the throne when he renovated the property. He added an iron-lined panic room in the first floor, in case of an attack.
According to House & Garden, the panic room houses several medical supplies, including blood samples of the royals, as well as food that could last for some time. It has its own armoury, as well and radio transmitters, air purifiers and a chemically-infused lavatory.
In 2016, Prince Charles said that he has been planting trees in Highgrove with his first grandson, who was still three years old at that time so that he will inherit the love for farming. Even then, the Prince of Wales has been preparing his own heir's future.
But, the Highgrove home will not be the only tangible property Prince George will likely receive get as the third in line to the throne. He could, also, become the owner of the Duchy of Lancaster.
Currently, Queen Elizabeth is present holder of the 46,000 acre-property, which has historic buildings, some urban developments and mostly farm lands. But, if Her Majesty dies, the land will go to one of her heirs.
Prince Charles will ascend as the King of England; thus, owning more lands than he could in his lifetime. He will pass on the Duchy of Cornwall to Prince William, the second in line to the throne. Royal experts believe that the future king will, also, pass the Duchy of Lancaster to Prince George.
