The Duke and Duchess of
Cambridge are set to leave their Kensington Palace behind with a move to
Berkshire in the offing.
Prince William and Kate
Middleton are reportedly all set to move to a house on the Queen’s Windsor
estate this summer.
The move will see the couple
leave Kensington Palace, which has been their main residency since 2017
following time at Anmer Hall in Norfolk.
It is reported that the royals
are set to take their son Prince George, 8, and daughter Princess
Charlotte, 7, out of their current school in Battersea at the culmination of
this school year.
They will then join their
younger brother, Prince Louis, 4, at a new school in September.
The decision has been made
with William, who is set to turn 40 soon, joking privately that he is finding
it “so daunting”, reports The Times.
The royal couple will keep
their Kensington Palace property as their main London base, while also
retaining Anmer Hall, which they are said to still use regularly.
One friend reportedly told The
Times that they plan to move to Norfolk on a more permanent basis after their
children are through “the school years”.
“They absolutely love it
up there, it’s their happy place,” the friend is reported to have said.
The planned move to Windsor
will see the couple nearer to the Duchess’s parents, who live a 45-minute car
journey away in the village of Bucklebury
The Cambridges could, in time,
move into Windsor Castle, where the Queen has lived since the pandemic and the
death of her husband Prince Philip.
