Princes William, George and Duchess Catherine
Britain's Prince William and Duchess Catherine are building a conservatory on their country home.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's royal aides have applied for planning permission to construct an extension on the kitchen of Anmer Hall, the couple's 10-bedroom retreat in Norfolk, east England.
Plans for a 16ft by 16ft garden room have already been accepted by the local council and the conservatory is expected to be an adaption of that design.
If the proposals are accepted the conservatory will come complete with a glass roof instead of tiles to enable the couple to soak up even more sunlight when they are relaxing with their two-month-old baby Prince George.
William and Catherine - who was known as Kate Middleton before the couple's wedding in April 2011 - are expected to move into the mansion in a matter of months, MailOnline reports.
The duke and duchess are preparing to move into their main home, Kensington Palace, central London, later this week, with Anmer Hall set to be their country retreat.
However, Clarence House has refused to confirm the Anmer Hall proposals.
A spokeswoman said: "It is a private matter. We won't be making any comment on it at all."
The abode was previously rented by the Duke and Duchess of Kent and used as their country house from 1972 until 1990.
