Work at the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge ’ s Norfolk country mansion is so behind schedule that the couple might have to postpone moving in until after the birth of their second child next month . The Mail on Sunday understands that William , Kate and Prince George have been living at one of the Queen ’ s private shooting lodges instead and that Kate may even move back in with her parents after the new baby is born . Local sources said decorators were still painting as recently as ten days ago at Anmer Hall , and that the Duchess , who has suffered from extreme morning sickness , has been unable to stay there . Work at the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge ’ s Norfolk country mansion ( pictured ) is reported to be far behind schedule . Instead the Cambridges have been residing at Wood Farm , a shooting lodge five miles down the road in the small village of Wolferton . A source in the village of Anmer said : ‘ All the locals had expected it to be finished months ago and that they would be in by now . But things have just run on and on for two years . They ’ ve been living at Wood Farm and popping in to Anmer every few days to check on the progress. ’ The shooting lodge is set in remote marshland on the north Norfolk coast down a long private road . If Anmer is not finished in time , Kate is said to be keen to move into her parents ’ Berkshire manor house after the birth , just as she did when Prince George was born . A source said : ‘ Kate just wants to be looked after at her mum ’ s house and for the work on Anmer to be completed in her absence. ’ A Kensington Palace spokesman declined to comment . The couple ( pictured during a public engagement in London on Friday ) are understood to have been living at one of the Queen 's shooting lodges while they wait for renovations on their home to be completed .
