As Prince William and Kate Middleton take on their new roles as the Prince and Princess of Wales, the couple is expected to move their children into Windsor Castle. But here’s the thing; the Wales family just made a big move to be closer to the kids’ new school.
Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II and the accession of King Charles III, Prince William was officially bumped up to the number one slot in the line of succession, which will come with a slew of new titles and responsibilities for him and his family. While this would typically call for a move to Windsor Castle, The Telegraph reports that the prince and princess plan to “delay” the switch for the sake of nine-year-old Prince George, seven-year-old Princess Charlotte, and four-year-old Prince Louis.
Luckily, the family recently made the move from Kensington Palace to Adelaide Cottage, which is technically on the grounds of Windsor Great Park. “They won’t be starting from scratch when it comes to decisions on what happens to all of the royal properties because there have been lots of conversations about that over the years, but things can change when family dynamics are taken into account, and they will want as little disruption to their children’s lives as possible right now,” a source told the publication. “They are very happy right now at Windsor, and for the next decade or so everything will be pretty much dictated by what is right for the children.”
This echoes a conversation Prince William had with a teacher when he and Kate Middleton, Prince Harry, and Meghan Markle greeted mourners and well-wishers outside of Windsor Castle on September 10.
“I told him how I work at a school and how it’s been a strange year celebrating the Jubilee and now it’s all changed and we are talking about this," Elaine Gee told People. “He spoke about George, Charlotte, and Louis, saying that they were trying to keep some sense of continuity for them at school and keep things as normal as possible.”
