William and Kate plan to move family out of London to give children a ‘normal’ life
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are set to move their family out of London during school term time, in a bid to give their children a “normal” family life, a royal source told CNN.
The decision to move the children’s school was announced by Kensington Palace in a statement on Monday.
According to the royal source, Prince William, Kate and their children will live in Adelaide Cottage, a four-bedroom house in the grounds of Windsor Castle, Berkshire, about 25 miles from London. The move will bring the family closer to both Queen Elizabeth II, who also resides in Windsor Castle, and Kate’s family, who live in the same county.
The Cambridges’ current residence, Kensington Palace, will remain the family’s principal residence, however, according to the royal source.

There are currently no plans for any live-in help, the source told CNN, adding that arrangements could be made for a nanny on the estate.
According to the statement, the couple’s three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, will all move to Lambrook School, a prestigious fee-paying school near Windsor.
The school is described on its website as a “leading coeducational Prep School for 615 boys and girls aged 3 and 13, set in 52 acres of beautiful Berkshire countryside.”
In the palace statement, the school’s headmaster, Jonathan Perry, said: “We are delighted that Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis will be joining us this coming September and very much look forward to welcoming the family, as well as all of our new pupils, to our school community.”

William and Kate thanked their children’s former school in London, Thomas’s Battersea, expressing their gratitude for the “happy start” it gave George and Charlotte.
In the same statement, Ben Thomas, principal of Thomas’s London Day Schools, thanked Charlotte and George “for upholding the school’s values and for their many contributions to school life,” wishing them good luck at their new school.
The royal source told CNN that the move will allow William and Kate to be “active parents in a busy school.”
“They want to be as normal a family as possible,” the source added.
The move will also give the young family greater privacy at home due to the high security presence on the Queen’s estate.
The Cambridges moved their family to London in 2017, having been based in Norfolk, eastern England, for several years. Until that point, the pair used Apartment 1A at Kensington Palace as their official residence while carrying out royal duties.

After Elizabeth II: Who is in the royal line of succession?Samir Hussein/WireImage // Getty Images
Since her royal coronation on June 2, 1953, Queen Elizabeth II has sat on the throne for more than six decades. 2022 marks her 70th year as monarch, making her the longest-reigning majesty in British history.
Next in line to succeed her is her son, Prince Charles, who has been heir to the throne for all of his 73 years, and when he becomes king, his eldest son, William, will become the next heir apparent. But the line of succession is long, and it continues to change as families grow and succession laws are revised.
In honor of another exciting anniversary for the Queen—the celebration of her 96th birthday on April 21, 2022—and her royal bloodline, Stacker has gathered a list of 20 members of the royal family and their respective positions in the line of succession, using information from the official website of the British royal family and various media sources.

After Elizabeth II: Who is in the royal line of succession?JaneBarlow/WPAPool // Getty Images
Title: Prince Charles, Prince of Wales
Full name: Charles Philip Arthur George
Father: Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh
Mother: Queen Elizabeth II
Relation to Elizabeth II: Son
Born: Nov. 14, 1948, at Buckingham Palace, London
Seventy-three years is a very long time to wait to assume the reins of the position for which you have always been destined, and Charles has been waiting in the wings since the day he was born. Over time, his popularity has seen highs and lows, and his personal life has generated multiple cycles of scandal, scrutiny, and sympathy. Never was this more true than during his marriage to Diana, Princess of Wales, and its eventual unraveling. He has been both lauded and criticized for some of his public work and personal initiatives, and he has long expressed a desire to slim down the monarchy. When he finally does ascend to the throne, his second wife, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, whom he married in 2005, will be known as Queen Consort.

He has been both lauded and criticized for some of his public work and personal initiatives, and he has long expressed a desire to slim down the monarchy. When he finally does ascend to the throne, his second wife, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, whom he married in 2005, will be known as Queen Consort.

Title: Prince William of Wales, Duke of Cambridge
Full name: William Arthur Philip Louis
Father: Prince Charles, Prince of Wales
Mother: Diana, Princess of Wales
Relation to Elizabeth II: Grandson
Born: June 21, 1982, at St Mary’s Hospital, Paddington, London
Prince William is second in line to the throne. As the first child of Charles and Diana, the quiet prince was always destined for the spotlight and has never known life outside the royal fishbowl. He has long held a special place in the hearts of Britons and royal followers since he was a child, and that emotional connection was only strengthened during his parents’ very public divorce and the tragic death of his mother in 1997. In the years that followed, William emerged as a thoughtful and reserved young man with an understandable disdain for the tabloid media. His 2011 marriage to Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, was watched by billions of people around the globe, and when William eventually ascends to the throne, Catherine will become Queen Consort.

Father: Prince William, Duke of Cambridge

Relation to Elizabeth II: Great-grandson
Born: July 22, 2013, at St Mary’s Hospital, Paddington, London
As the eldest son of William and Catherine, 8-year-old Prince George of Cambridge now stands third in the line of succession. Like his father and grandfather before him, he is surely aware of his destiny at this point in his young life, though his parents have worked hard to keep their children grounded with a less formal and rigid lifestyle and a greater sense of normalcy than past royalty have experienced in their upbringing, much like George’s grandmother Diana did for her sons, William and Harry.

Full name: Charlotte Elizabeth Diana

Mother: Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge
Relation to Elizabeth II: Great-granddaughter
Born: May 2, 2015, at St Mary’s Hospital, Paddington, London
For William and Catherine’s second child, Princess Charlotte, a legal change in succession law passed in 2011 helped secure her position in the line of succession. The Perth Agreement determined that all governments of the Commonwealth realms would amend their laws to replace “male-preference primogeniture” (in which males precede females) with “absolute primogeniture” (in which gender plays no part). Thus, when her younger brother was born, Charlotte retained her position as the fourth in line.

Relation to Elizabeth II: Great-grandson
Born: April 23, 2018, at St Mary’s Hospital, Paddington, London
Some might suspect that the youngest of William and Kate’s children might be destined for a more comfortable and less stressful role than his older siblings. However, in the royal line of succession one can never assume anything. Just ask Louis’ great-great-grandfather, King George VI, who was never expected to inherit the throne. He had planned to live a quiet life as the Duke of York with his family, but when his brother, King Edward, famously abdicated the throne in order to marry an American divorcee, the course of George’s life was forever altered, as was that of his daughter, the future Queen Elizabeth II.

Father: Prince Charles, Prince of Wales
Mother: Diana, Princess of Wales
Relation to Elizabeth II: Grandson
Born: Sept. 15, 1984, at St Mary’s Hospital, Paddington, London
At birth, Prince Henry was fourth in line to the British throne and often referred to as the “spare” to his brother, the heir. Better known as Harry, the prince exhibited a rebellious streak and a sense of independence—not unlike that of his mother, Diana. In recent years—despite strained relations with his brother and father, the 2020 drama the press deemed “Megxit,” a relocation with his family to California, a tell-all book in the works, and he and his wife Meghan’s now-infamous Oprah interview—he remains in the fold. This may be due in part to the very strong relationship he has always enjoyed with the queen.
