Philip Roseblade, who lives close to Prince William and Kate Middleton's Norfolk retreat at Anmer Hall, appeared before King's Lynn magistrates to be sentenced on Thursday.

Roseblade, 58, whose address was given in court as The Street in Anmer, had earlier admitted two counts of publishing an obscene article.

He also admitted attempting to communicate with a girl aged under 16 for sexual gratification between September 21, 2024 and September 25, 2024, speaking about her breast size and whether she would have sex with him.
