The Duke and Duchess
of Cambridge will soon have their three children home for the school
summer holidays.
Prince
George and Princess Charlotte break up from their school Thomas’
in London’s Battersea on 8 July, while four-year-old Prince Louis’ nursery
school Willcocks finishes for the summer on 6 July – so it’s just a matter of
days until the royal siblings are on their two-month break.
After a busy time celebrating
the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, William and Kate are no doubt looking forward to
a relaxing time with their children.
It’s likely they will all head
to their Norfolk home – Anmer Hall – with Prince William previously telling
Apple Time to Walk, “We spend as much time as we can here, it’s very
peaceful.”
And it’s at Anmer Hall that
Prince George takes on a surprising chore.
During their visit to a local
goat farm in Wales back in March, Kate revealed how eight-year-old George helps
out around the estate.
As Prince William asked farm
owners Gary and Jess Yeomans about a robot silage sweeper which was being kept
in one of their barns, Gary explained that they used it to move feed, which
prompted Kate to reveal, “That was George’s job at half term -moving
feed.”
Prince William previously
spoke about getting their three children involved in farming around their
country home. Speaking to elementary school teacher Rhian Roberts – whose
family runs a dairy farm – in 2020, William said the Cambridge kids helped
deliver lambs during their time off from school.

Kate spoke about George’s job during a visit to a farm
“We’ve been lambing with
the children this week,” William said. “Charlotte wasn’t sure at
first, but George was straight in there. Louis loves the tractors.”
This summer will also see the
Cambridges move into their new home – Adelaide Cottage. The Grade II-listed
home is owned by the Queen and is a “grace-and-favour” home that she
can choose to offer up to anyone she likes.
Adelaide Cottage – a
four-bedroom property – is located on the 655-acre Windsor estate which means
the family will be much closer to the Queen at Windsor Castle.
The royals will also be much
closer to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s UK home of Frogmore Cottage as well
as Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson’s mansion, Royal Lodge.
