Over the years, Kate Middleton often brought up how idyllic her childhood has been and a new video posted by her brother, James Middleton, now reveals why, as it is granting people a rare glimpse inside the Duchess’s childhood home in Bucklebury, Berkshire with a short appearance of her parents Carole and Michael Middleton.

On April 11, 2020, the Duchess’s brother, James Middleton shared a video that he filmed in the garden of his parent’s family home, where he is currently staying with his fiancée Alizee to practice social distancing.

In the video, James shaves off his beard in order to surprise Alizee, as she has never seen him without a beard before and with their wedding coming up he figured that it was about time.

When he was done shaving, James walked over to his fiancée and surprised her with his new look as she was enjoying a glass of wine on the family’s beautiful garden terrace with James’ parents, Carole and Michael Middleton. 

While James films Alizee’s reaction, he pans the camera and allows people a rare look inside the family’s home. It unveils bunting hanging on the wall as well as a number of framed family photos. A glimpse at the Middleton’s garden reveals neatly trimmed hedges and lots of flowers everywhere. When James uploaded the video to his Instagram, people were excited to learn more about the place where Kate Middleton grew up as the oldest of three children.

While the Cambridges aren’t staying with Kate’s parents during the current lockdown, they still have been in close contact with them via video call as the Duchess is very close to her family. Still, having their young children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis participate in video calls with both sides of their family is quite hectic for the Duke and Duchess as Kate revealed in a recent interview with BBC breakfast:

 "It gets a bit hectic, I'm not going to lie, with a two-year-old you have to take the phone away," Kate described. "It's quite hectic for them all to say the right thing at the right time without pressing the wrong buttons. But it's great and it's nice to keep in touch with everybody."
