A Royal Gift: Prince George’s £18,000 Playhouse
When it comes to birthday gifts, few can rival the luxury bestowed upon young royals.
Take Prince George, for instance.
On his first birthday, he received a stunning present from his grandfather, Prince Charles, that would make any child envious: a lavish Wendy house worth £18,000.
This impressive playhouse has become a charming fixture in the garden of Highgrove, where it waits for George and his siblings to enjoy.
The Wendy house isn't just any ordinary play structure; it's a hand-crafted shepherd's hut designed in a Victorian style.
Measuring an impressive 12 feet by 6 feet, it boasts a wood-burning stove and a cozy daybed, making it the perfect retreat for imaginative play.
It's no wonder the price tag is quite hefty.
Now eight years old, Prince George can still be found playing in this delightful abode alongside his siblings, Princess Charlotte, who is seven, and little Prince Louis, aged four.
The playhouse has become a beloved part of their childhood at their grandfather's estate in Gloucestershire, where nature and adventure await.
Visitors to Highgrove can catch a glimpse of this unique playhouse during guided tours of the estate's sprawling 15-acre gardens.
Nestled in a wildflower meadow, the Wendy house adds a touch of whimsy to the picturesque landscape.
It serves as a reminder of the special bond between the young prince and his family.
The generous gift came from Plankbridge, a Dorset-based company known for its bespoke wooden structures.
They crafted the playhouse as a token of appreciation for the support received from the Prince's Trust.
