Kate Middleton and Prince William reportedly "considering" a home closer to the Queen
The Cambridges currently reside at Kensington Palace in London and Anmer Hall in Norfolk. A source told the Mail on Sunday (opens in new tab) that Kate Middleton and Prince William are "seriously considering" moving with their children to Windsor, where the Queen has spent most of her time (opens in new tab) since Prince Philip's death (opens in new tab) in April 2021. They are "seriously considering" moving.
"Anmer Hall made sense while William was a helicopter pilot in East Anglia, and it was convenient for Christmas at Sandringham, but it's not really available anymore," the source said. 'It's a little too far for a weekend, but Windsor is the perfect compromise. Windsor is the perfect compromise."
Windsor is only an hour's drive from London, compared to three hours at Anmer Hall. According to sources in the Mail, the Cambridges have made Windsor their primary residence and are "seriously considering" going to London for business commitments. They currently work in London, where George and Charlotte (open in new tab) attend school, and are visiting Anmer Hall for an escape from the big city.
Sources circulated the idea that the Duke and Duchess might make Fort Belvedere in Windsor their home, but palace aides denied this. It is unclear where they would actually live if they were to leave London, but the Mail explained that living near the Queen might be helpful "in preparing the monarchy for the big changes [opening with a new tab] in the coming years."
Also, "Hello! also notes that Windsor is home to Eton College, which Prince William and Prince Harry attended (opens in new tab). If the Cambridges move to Windsor and send their own sons to Eton, George and Louis will still be close to home. Recently (opens in new tab), rumors circulated that the Duke and Duchess were considering sending George to boarding school this year, but "they feel eight is a little young and want to wait until he is a little older," a source told Us Weekly magazine (opens in new tab).
