The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are to embark on the next major phase of their life by moving their family to Windsor, with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis all starting at the same school.
William and Kate will set up home in Adelaide Cottage in Windsor’s Home Park, and the children will join the private Lambrook School near Ascot in Berkshire in September. The duke and duchess are seeking a life away from their official residence at London’s Kensington Palace in a bid to put their children first and give them more freedom.
The royal couple had been known to have their heart set on the school, with its 52 acres of grounds, where fees will cost William and Kate in excess of £50,000 a year. The family will use the 19th century Adelaide Cottage as their base after the Queen gave them permission to lease the four-bedroom cottage, which belongs to the Crown Estate.
