Prince William and Kate are making this sacrifice for their children

The Cambridges are going to move from Kensington Palace to Adelaide Cottage—nestled in the 655-acre Windsor estate. However, Omid Scobie—a royal author, has confirmed that the couple is abandoning their dream of living in London for their children.

Kids before us

After the move, they will be closer to the Queen and their kids—Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis—will attend new schools. The Cambridge family will be moving to a property where they will have more space and be away from life in the busy capital, reports Mirror.

Scobie believes that Prince William and Kate realise that growing up at the Windsor estate will be a better opportunity for their kids despite their original plans. He wrote in his blog:

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.

Moving places

Apparently, a source has also told Scobie that the Cambridge couple wanted to permanently move to their home—Anmer Hall in Norfolk—but it was too far from London. The source confirmed:

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.

The move to Windsor will allow Kate not only to be closer to her family in Bucklebury, Berkshire but also be able to live a life that’s not like prisoners. Royal expert, Ingrid Seward said:

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.
