Queen Elizabeth II died on September 8, 2022, at the age of 96. The monarch passed away at her Scottish residence of Balmoral Castle, but she spent many of her final years living at Windsor Castle surrounded by family. In fact, Prince William and Princess Kate decided to move to Adelaide Cottage in Windsor to make sure they were closer to the Queen in her "final months," according to royal expert Robert Jobson.
In his new book, Catherine, the Princess of Wales: A Biography of the Future Queen, Jobson wrote (via the Daily Mail), "[Prince William] knew his time with his grandmother was precious and he is delighted they, as a couple, made that decision." He continued, "Catherine understood that for William, as a future king, it was important for him to be geographically closer to the late Queen in her final months, when he was required to support both her and his father."
