Nothing spoiles a child like grandparents do—and the royals are no exception. Prince Charles transformed a part of his garden at his Highgrove House into playground treehouse for his adorable grandson, Prince George. The Victorian-style Shepherd’s Hut comes with a day bench bed and a little stove and sits close to a wildflower meadow near a shady, secluded are, which features a refurbished treehouse that’s just perfect for the toddler prince, who just turned two. The little royal and his proud grandpa have enjoyed picnics and playtime on the grounds. (people.com)
