Prince William & Kate Middleton’s Country Home Anmer Hall Is Haunted by the Ghost of a Priest

When Prince William and Kate Middleton aren’t at Adelaide Cottage — which is now their full-time home since they moved out of London — they like to spend time at their country home, Anmer Hall. It’s a beautiful estate in Northfolk with plenty of space outdoors for the kids to run around in privacy. There’s just one problem: Apparently, it’s haunted.

According to what Richard Felix, a paranormal historian, told A Right Royal Podcast this week, there’s a pretty creepy story behind the hauntings, and it all started long before the royals owned the property.

“When the Prince and Princess of Wales moved into Anmer Hall—it’s more or less on the Sandringham Estate—there was a ghost there of a Catholic priest that lived there and was hanged, drawn and quartered for high treason,” he said.

Saint Henry was executed in 1595 and is thought to have returned back to Anmer Hall because his family lived there, so it’s the place he thinks of as home.

“Although he was executed in York, [Kate and William] actually heard his voice. And they have seen the ghost of what they say is a priest, wandering around Anmer Hall,” Richard said on the podcast.
