Christmas is the time when the pregnant Duchess of Cambridge, Catherine and her husband Prince William are expected to get a visit from Queen Elizabeth in their new home at Anmer Hall in Norfolk. The Queen gifted the couple this house and Duchess Kate has reportedly renovated it to suit her needs. However a "house warming visit" by the Queen was long overdue and various media reports suggest that the Queen will now visit them by the end of this month.

Prince William and Kate Middleton have also invited Kate's parents Carole and Michael Middleton too to their new home. Kate's parents, along with their daughter Pippa and son James, are expected to stay at the newly renovated property in the upcoming Christmas and New Year holidays, says Daily Mail.

The website then adds that Kate's family is also invited to attend Queen Elizabeth's Christmas Eve supper at her estate at nearby Sandringham. For the Christmas day, both the families will have lunch with the Queen. Kate, William and George are then free to spend the rest of the holidays at Norfolk, said the website.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge shifted to Anmer Hall sometime back. It is a ten-bedroom luxury property located in Norfolk that has undergone a U.S. $23 million renovation. The royal couple shifted to this location so that it becomes easier for Prince William to commute to his new job as an air ambulance pilot at the East Anglian Air Ambulance.

Though the Anmer Hall house was suppose to be the royal couple's country house, the duo has made it their permanent home after shifting from Kensington Palace, the Daily Express says. The vast property dates back to 200 years and has a tennis court, swimming pool, newly renovated kitchen and driveway apart from ten bedrooms.

Meanwhile, pregnant Kate Middleton has overcome her morning sickness that kept her homebound for long time and is now seen in public with a hint of baby bump. The Duchess recently paid a visit to a children's hospital in Norfolk where she was moved to tears to hear a story of a three-month-old baby girl who died of a serious heart condition.
