A man residing in the same village as Prince William and Kate Middleton’s Norfolk home has been jailed after admitting that he broke in and stole a pair of underwear and a sex toy from someone’s home.
30 year old Joseph Melhado confessed to stealing the items from a home near King’s Lynn, in Wiggenhall St Germans.
A hearing in June saw him plead guilty to the crime along with a second burglary on September 5 2020.
Joseph is a resident of Anmar village, where Kate and William’s Norfolk home, Anmar hall, is situated.
Melhado was sentenced to two years in prison for the crimes and ordered to pay one of the victims a £149 surcharge.
Kate and William’s Anmar hall is a Georgian country house located in the village, built in the 18th century and integrated into the Sandringham Estate after Queen Victoria purchased it.
The home was gifted to Kate and William by the queen in 2011 as a wedding present and was renovated from 2013 to 2014 for an estimated £1.5 million.
The renovation saw the couple adding a conservatory, redesigning the interior of the property and rerouting the driveway.
It has also been reported that the pair have a chicken coop and keep bees on the property.
Anmar Hall was the main residence for the couple throughout 2015 to 2017 as Prince William worked as an air ambulance pilot for the East Anglian Air Ambulance.
The family are currently based within Kensington Palace in London, with Anmar Hall serving as a country residence for the young family, where many of the public photographs have been taken.
The Cambridges primarily use it on the weekends or in school holidays when Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are free.
Kate and William spent the first nationwide lockdown at the home and planned to spend the third lockdown there until having to relocate to London so that their kids could return to school.
The Cambridge family stood outside of the property's front door to take part in the clap for carers initiative during the lockdown.
