Prince William and Kate moving to Windsor to be near the Queen and take on more royal duties

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are said to relocate to Windsor from their current home at Kensington Palace in London, reports The Mirror. And now it's emerged there was one big reason behind the decision

When they moved to their current home in 2013 it was following a £12 million renovation and royal fans assumed they were planning to stay there for the long haul. But William, who is celebrating his 40th birthday this week, now has his eye fixed on Adelaide Cottage in Windsor.

The home, which has four bedrooms, needs “no extra taxpayer-funded security or costly refurb”, according to The Sun, and is close by to the Queen who now lives full-time at Windsor Castle. Indeed it's this proximity to his grandmother that William is after in a house-hunt and a royal insider told the Daily Mail that the Duke wants to be close to the Queen as she continues to delegate more royal duties.
