The Cambridges are on the move!
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their children are getting ready to leave their London-based home at Kensington Palace and relocate to Berkshire.
The big move has many perks, including being closer to both the Queen at her Windsor Castle estate and theDuchess's parents, Carole and Michael Middleton – who spend a lot of time with their grandchildren.
Daily Mail reported the decision also came down to the changing educational needs of their three children, Prince George, 8, Princess Charlotte, 7, and Prince Louis, 4.
George and Charlotte will leave their London school, Thomas's Battersea, at the end of the term and move to a school in the Windsor area.
Once making the big move, the family of five will occupy Adelaide Cottage on the Queen's Windsor estate. The cottage which sits on a generous 655-acre estate is a short walk from St George's Chapel and Windsor Castle. It was recently renovated in 2015 so the couple will not have to spend millions remodelling.
The couple will not have any live-in staff at the four-bedroom royal estate.
Confirmation of the move comes after months of speculation and is said to represent a "fresh start" for the influential royals.
A friend of the couple told The Sunday Times "The reality is they are quite confined in what they can do in London," adding, "the kids can't go into the park and kick a football with friends. Their plan is to be there for the next 10 to 15 years and then move to Anmer, which is so special to them."
The couple frequently visit Anmer Hall – which is located in Norfolk - and a friend of the prince claimed it's "their happy place".
Meanwhile, a source told the Sun, "Kate and William were very keen for a modest home to start their new lives in Windsor. Adelaide Cottage fits the bill because it is a four-bedroom home and they do not need any more as they have no live-in staff.
"They had no other demands than a pleasant family home close to schools and the Queen.
"They were adamant they didn't want anything too showy or anything that needed renovating or extra security so as not to be a burden on the taxpayer."

Robert Lacey, a royal historian, spoke to People Magazine revealing a key factor that may have contributed to Her Majesty's absence claiming she has "high expectations" for herself and "She would not want to stumble — not for her own sake but for the distress it would cause other people."
In April The Sun revealed the Palace actioned a new rule meaning the Queen's attendance at any event will not be decided until the day and, no matter what, she won't go along alone.
