Prince George to own top British party town – thanks to royal rule
From the moment he was born, almost every element of Prince George's life has been laid out before him. While he is expected to be King one day, he will first have another key job which was is currently held by Prince William. This role is to one day be the Prince of Wales - a position which will see the young royal inherit the vast private Duchy of Cornwall Estate which stretches across an incredible 135,000 acres.
Given that so many of the properties owned by the Royal Family are set in hundreds of acres of land to make them as private as possible, it may come as a surprise to learn that a location owned by Prince William doubles as the setting for one of Britain's most famous party towns. And, just like his father, Prince George will own it one day.
While the most famous development owned by The Duchy of Cornwall is the Poundbury Estate in Dorset, the Cornish Nansledan Estate is set in an area renowned for partying.

As with many private estates, it will come with strict rules that include not having visible washing lines or bins and not being allowed to install individual satellite dishes. Newquay, the Cornwall town where the estate is, is famous for being one of Britain's foremost party towns and is constantly ranked as a top location for stag dos and hen parties.
The town was ranked seventh in the UK for stag dos in 2018, reported CornwallLive, for its bars and restaurants, as well as the cheap cost of beer. As the land is the property of The Duchy of Cornwall, Prince William now owns several of the homes in the town.

It is thought the project could take up to 40 years to complete and if you decide to live there, you will have to follow several key rules. These restrictions include not making unnecessary noise or having loud arguments or slamming doors.
The official website states: "Development should enhance the quality of life, strengthen the bonds of community and place, and give people a sense of pride in where they live. Buildings should look as if they belong in the landscape, drawing on regional traditional styles, where the use of local materials and craftsmanship is vital to the aesthetic and the local economy.
"Nansledan is all these things, embodying timeless principles that have created enduring communities the length and breadth of Britain."
The Duchy of Cornwall is a private estate that was established by King Edward III in 1337 for his son, Prince Edward, the 'Black Prince'. At the time, a charter ruled that each future Duke of Cornwall would be the eldest surviving son of the monarch, as well as the heir to the throne.
When he was still The Prince of Wales, King Charles worked with the Duchy of Cornwall for many years but those responsibilities have now been passed on to Prince William following his assumption of the Prince of Wales title.
King Charles had long been training his eldest son for his new role as The Prince of Wales and what his role within the Duchy of Cornwall estate will involve.
Asked about his plans for the estate in an ITV documentary in 2019, Prince William said: "I've started to think about how I will inherit the Duchy one day and what I do with it. I think it's really important, about the family angle, I really do."
Speaking in reaction to Prince William's comments, King Charles said: "When I saw it, I couldn't believe it. I was deeply touched and moved by what he said. Frankly, it reduced me to tears."
