Kate Middleton's living room features elegant homeware buy that will make any room look timeless - and it's under £50
Kate Middleton has on occasion offered us a rare glimpse into her living room, which, like the royal's fashion, is a fusion of traditional and modern pieces.
We first caught a look inside her home during 2020 when even the royals had to pivot to working from home.
At the time William and Kate were either at Kensington Palace or Anmer Hall in Norfolk before moving to Adelaide Cottage in Windsor in 2022.
Her love for a statement cushion is hard to miss and an array of plump throw cushions were scattered across her sofa.
In 2021 Kate showed off her sage green sofa when she joined a virtual call with teachers to mark Children's Mental Health Week.
Her choice of cushions featured a leaf print design with slight touches of red.
Thankfully, the highstreet is full of affordable statement cushions which are guaranteed to add a touch of royal comfort to your own front room.

EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: What made Jane Seymour perfect for her ‘virginal' James Bond role? And what did King Charles ask royal finance chief to investigate about Andrew?
Keeper of the Privy Purse Sir Michael Stevens has handed over the royal abacus after seven years and one final task requested by the King: delving into the murky world of Prince Andrew's finances. He had offered his resignation after the death of the Queen but Charles asked him to investigate reports that his brother had looming financial difficulties and might do something unwise to make ends meet. It was a bruising encounter. Royals, especially Andrew, don't take kindly to flunkeys rooting about in their private affairs. Sir Michael's last task was to assure the King that Andrew was in surprisingly rude financial health. A grateful Charles this week presented Sir Michael with a silver-gilt-framed signed photograph, cufflinks and the GCVO in thanks for services rendered. Is the protracted delay in William and Kate issuing their own royal warrants the result of a long-standing disagreement between King and heir? Charles maintains the time-honoured system of allowing businesses who supply anything from horse bedding to fine jewellery to put the royal arms on their products. But William has been agitating for reform. Apparently, he would prefer to encourage new businesses and initiatives with royal patronage, helping them to grow, rather than issue warrants to established firms. Finding a compromise has evidently been tricky. Reflecting on landing her breakthrough role over 50 years ago as Bond girl Solitaire in Live and Let Die, Jane Seymour cheekily points out: 'They were looking for someone to play a virginal high priestess... there weren't very many virgins left in London in the 1970s. I was so well brought up, I almost counted!' Promoting memoir What Do Boys Want?, Margaret Thatcher devotee Sir John Redwood is haunted by ongoing conflicts with mother Amy over his teddy bear. 'This mother wanted to dress this little bear up as a doll,' 'Vulcan' John complains on GB News. 'I had a natural aversion to dolls... I just didn't want to play with a doll.' Perhaps if mater Amy had called the teddy The Iron Lady, little Johnny and the doll would have been friends for life. About to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Live Aid, Rick 'Status Quo' Parfitt's ex-wife Patty recalls flying from Wembley when she heard the unmistakable noise of lovemaking from the rear seats of the helicopter. 'We pulled the curtain back and there was David Bowie with a mystery girl. I remember he gave us this look and we quickly closed the curtain.' Space Oddity anyone? Recalling his 2017 encounter with Donald Trump, Michael Gove tells Tatler that he was fascinated by his curious colour. 'His skin is an orange that's not like fake tan. It's as though there is a chemical compound unique to him that's been applied to his skin. He has an ability to endure, to never die.' Maybe the magic formula is formaldehyde, Mikey.

Revealed: The scathing words Prince Charles uttered when Harry was born because he 'wanted a girl'
It is no secret that King Charles has a strained relationship with his youngest son. After quitting frontline royal duties and moving his young family to California in 2020, the Duke of Sussex, 40, has been left in the dark when it comes to his father's cancer battle, only learning of his recent hospital visit on March 27 through media reports, according to People Magazine. And when Harry flew across the pond in early April to attend a hearing at the Royal Courts of Justice in London - a mere 2.5 miles from Buckingham Palace - he did not meet Charles. But the well-documented rift between father and son may go back even further than royal watchers realise. According to Diana herself, Charles was desperate to have two children - one boy and one girl. 'I knew Harry was going to be a boy because I saw on the scan,' she explained to Andrew Morton for his bestselling book Diana: Her True Story In Her Own Words. 'Charles always wanted a girl. He wanted two children, and he wanted a girl. I knew Harry was a boy, and I didn't tell him.' So when Diana gave birth to their second son Harry in the Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital on September 15, 1984, Charles could barely hide his disappointment. 'First comment was: "Oh God, it's a boy," second comment: "And he's even got red hair,"' Diana recounted to her trusted biographer Morton. In his own bombshell memoir Spare, Prince Harry said he was 21 the first time he heard the story of 'what Pa allegedly said to Mummy the day of my birth: "Wonderful! Now you've given me an Heir and a Spare - my work is done." 'A joke. Presumably,' Harry penned. 'On the other hand, minutes after delivering this bit of high comedy, Pa was said to have gone off to meet his girlfriend. So. Many a true word spoken in jest.' Outside the hospital, Prince Charles appeared to hide his true feelings and told the waiting journalists: 'He's wonderful. Absolutely marvellous.' It is no wonder the Diana would go on to tell friends that 'spiritually' their marriage 'ended the day Prince Harry was born', according to Morton. Charles told his official biographer Jonathan Dimbleby that he picked things back up with Camilla in 1986. Meanwhile it is alleged Diana's affair with army captain James Hewitt started around the same time. The royal couple, who had separate bedrooms at their homes for years stopped sharing the same sleeping quarters during an official visit to Portugal in 1987. The next few years saw Charles and Diana plagued with rumours of marital problems, culminating in the blistering tell-all of the collapse of their marriage as published by Morton in 1992. The Princess of Wales had secretly contributed to the book by providing Morton with audio recordings which would later be included in a 2017 ITV documentary. Diana claims in the recordings that Charles's disappointment at having a second boy rather than a girl persevered until Prince Harry's christening on December 21, 1984. After the ceremony at St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, the future king allegedly told Diana's mother Frances Shand Kydd: 'We're so disappointed, we thought it would be a girl.' Frances then 'snapped his head off' and told him he should 'realise you are lucky to have a child', Diana added. The doomed royal couple announced their separation just months after the publication of Morton's book in 1992 and finalised their divorce in August 1996. Elsewhere in Morton's explosive biography, Diana reveals that the birth of her first son William - the heir - came with its own set of issues. The Princess of Wales told Morton she had to choose a date to be induced that fit around Charles's busy polo schedule. 'When we had William, we had to find a date in the diary that suited Charles and his polo,' she said. 'William had to be induced because I couldn't handle the press pressure any longer, it was becoming unbearable. It was as if everyone was monitoring every day for me.' Princess Diana added: 'Anyway, the boy arrived, great excitement. 'Thrilled, everyone absolutely high as a kite – we had found a date where Charles could get off his polo pony for me to give birth.

How social media is transforming wedding days in Norfolk
A wedding content creator said described how more couples are embracing seeing their big day through the candid lens of a mobile with just an iPhone, Beth Denman, 25, and her team take thousands of photos and videos during weddings, which are edited into short form content for social media. She started Social Scenes from her home in Attleborough, Norfolk, two years ago and has now grown it into a team of five. "It's very candid and in the moment... it's the moments that are often missed by the bride and groom," Ms Denman said. She first discovered wedding content creation in 2023, on social media posts from Denman estimated that, at the time, there were just three other wedding creators in Norfolk."I thought that I could totally do this. I noticed that no-one was really doing it in Norfolk," she said. 'Blend in with the shadows' She estimates there are now about 20 people providing a similar service across the wedding planning website, Hitched, has reported a 586% rise in searches for wedding content creators in Denman said she plays the role of the "uninvited but invited guest"."We blend in with the shadows and we gravitate around the wedding to capture different parts," she added. Wedding creators such as Ms Denman work alongside traditional photographers and videographers to capture the big they may seem similar, Ms Denman said wedding creators worked candidly, sometimes providing content for couples within 24 hours."I think if people see it as the death of the photographer or videographer, they're getting the complete wrong conception," she added. "Content creators aren't a replacement for anybody... we are an addition." Wedding photographer Ellie Gillard agrees that the services they provide Gillard has been a wedding photographer in Norfolk and London for 14 years, and has photographed more than 400 weddings. "Content creators serve a different purpose in the grand scheme of things," she said."It's great for people who are very present on social media - the content that they give you are almost instant. "But people have had photographers at their wedding since photography began, and it fits that tradition."She has previously worked with content creators and believes their job is not as simple as some may think. "The growth of content creators means that some people think it's fun, that they can turn up and just point their phones at things," she said. "But there is more to it than that... it's really important that you blend into the day seamlessly." Follow Norfolk news on BBC Sounds, Facebook, Instagram and X.
