I think its put a bee in a lot of people's bonnets here how some of the media presents their coverage of certain royals. There are a lot of people that do follow and want to know what Kate wore and who designed it and whatever. Check out just how many fashion threads we have here on TRF even. Its not a bad thing but as you stated Thumbahlina, it can and does detract from her actual purpose sometimes.
Anmer Hall right now is a perfect place for the Cambridges to raise their family. Its close to where William is now working and affords relative privacy as it is part of the Queen's Sandrinham estate so Great Granddad just had to go a hop, skip and a jump over to the birthday party. Lady Braborne has always been a very close companion to Philip. She is married (or was married) to Norton Braborne who is a cousin to Philip. They both enjoy carriage driving together among other things.
The young Cambridge children most certainly are growing up in a very loving, stable, and caring family environment. Very, very down to earth with the world at their feet to explore in during their lifetime. I almost want to think that being royal will be a secondary perk for them rather than being royal will be the prime focus of their lives. They will grow to fit into their world around them and through that, as prominent royals on the world stage in years to come, really know how to serve the people well. They've got wonderful examples as role models I think.
ETA: Correction. Norton Knatchbull is 8th Baron Brabourne
