Prince William And Catherine, Duchess Of Cambridge Left Kensington Palace For Anmer Hall

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge and Prince William, Duke of Cambridge left Kensington Palace with Prince George and four-day-old Princess Charlotte on May 6, 2015 in London, England to retreat to their country home.

William and Kate headed out of London with their new baby and her one-year-old brother Prince George as they made their way on the 115-mile journey to Anmer Hall, their bolthole in Norfolk.

They will spend the first few weeks of the princess's life in their refurbished Georgian mansion, on the Queen's private Sandringham estate, as they get to grips with looking after both a newborn and toddler.

The Duchess's parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, are expected to be house guests for the next week or so as they help Kate look after her two children and giving her a chance to escape with the Duke for walks with their dog, Lupo.

William is on two weeks' paternity leave from his job as an air ambulance helicopter pilot and is expected to start the final phase of his training at the beginning of June.

The couple's Range Rover, being driven by William with Kate in the front passenger seat, was seen leaving Kensington Palace on what was Princess Charlotte's first outing since leaving hospital following her birth on Saturday.

The couple are expected to base themselves at Anmer Hall, the Georgian mansion over the coming years and raise their children in the idyllic village which has a population of just 60 and few shops.
