- The Cambridges are rumoured to be leaving Kensington Palace for Windsor.
- Adelaide Cottage is located in the heart of the Queen’s Windsor estate.
- Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis would attend different schools if they moved closer to the Queen.
According to a royal expert, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are putting their children first by renouncing their “dream” of living in London and going to Windsor.
The Cambridges are rumoured to be leaving Kensington Palace for Adelaide Cottage, which is located in the heart of the Queen’s 655-acre Windsor estate and is quite near to Windsor Castle. The relocation would bring them considerably closer to the Queen and would require Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis to attend different schools. It will also see them leave the hustle and bustle of the city for a home with more room.
And, despite their initial intention, Kate and William have realised that Windsor is a better location for George, Charlotte, and Louis to grow up, according to royal biographer Omid Scobie.
In his column on Yahoo, he stated, “Though London was originally the dream, it became increasingly apparent to the duke and duchess that living in the middle of Kensington Gardens may not be the best place for Prince George, nine, Princess Charlotte, seven, and Prince Louis, four, as they grow up.”
He further claims that a source informed him that the Cambridges considered permanently relocating to Anmer Hall in Norfolk, but that it is too distant from London.
He quotes a source telling, “They thought about moving to [their home in] Norfolk, but as active senior working royals they could never be that far away from London, so that’s where Windsor came into the picture.”
Meanwhile, another royal analyst and author Ingrid Seward believe the relocation will allow Kate and her family much more freedom, particularly when she was informed the duchess can’t actually do things like a stroll in the park.
She previously told True Royalty TV’s The Royal Beat about the move, “I think what William and Catherine will have for their children is the freedom they didn’t have at Kensington Palace.
“I remember Harry saying to a friend of mine that Catherine was almost a prisoner at Kensington Palace, and I thought don’t be ridiculous, it’s the most gorgeous place to live in London!
“Then I thought, in a way they are prisoners, they have a beautiful house and garden but beyond that garden are hundreds of people every day and massive security.”
“Catherine can’t walk in the park like Diana used to, as times have changed.
“The only place to go is a field where the helicopters land, so you are very imprisoned. Everyone knows what you’re doing and where you are.”
Kate, 40, will also be able to live closer to her family and where she grew up in Bucklebury, Berkshire.
