Kate Middleton gives Prince George unusual chore during summer holidays - and it's very messy

The school holidays are fast approaching - and Prince George and Princess Charlotte will be looking forward to a fun-filled summer.

But despite eight-year-old George being a future King, it doesn't seem to mean that his parents the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge let him get away without doing any holiday chores.

His mum late once let slip that he was given a very unusual job to get on with while enjoying a break from school at the family's Anmer Hall Norfolk home on the Sandringham estate.

On a visit to a goat farm in Wales with Prince William, Kate told how George had been responsible for moving animal feed on the estate.

It came after William spotted a robot silage sweeper in one of the barns and pointed it out to the farmer.

The farmer then explained it could also be used to move feed, and Kate replied: “That was George’s job at half term – moving feed.”

After William told his host his children had been getting involved on the farm at Sandringham, where his own dad Charles has been working to turn the estate into a fully organic operation and added: “We are trying some Agroforestry as well.”

However, when George and Charlotte return to school in September following their summer holiday, things could be a lot different.

That's because there is feverish speculation swirling around the Cambridges moving from Kensington Palace in London to Windsor.

The Cambridges are reportedly hoping to move to four-bed Adelaide Cottage later in the summer.

It’s said the home has no live-in staff and William and Kate’s aides would have to commute across from London - though it would not need renovating or extra security.

One royal insider told the Daily Mail that the relocation is due to William wanting to be closer to the Queen as she continues to delegate additional royal duties to him.

William has taken an increasingly leading role in royal matters - along with his father Charles - as the Queen faces continued mobility issues.

The move would mean that George and Charlotte would start at a new school in the Berkshire area - with their younger brother Prince Louis starting school with them.

Kate and William will reportedly keep Kensington Palace as their London base and intend to spend down time at their Norfolk home, Anmer Hall.
