Kate Middleton lascia Kensington Palace, but it is not an escape. She and her husband William have decided to move to Windsor next summer to be closer to Queen Elizabeth.
Kate Middleton, because she is leaving Kensington Palace
Kate Middleton and William say goodbye to Kensington Palace apartment 1A in London, at least as a main residence. The Dukes of Cambridge, increasingly involved in the commitments of the Monarchy, prefer to live next to the Queen who has officially moved to Windsor Castle since this winter, when her health problems prevented her from facing court commitments in attendance. her.
To tell the truth, it is from the first lockdown, in 2020, that Elizabeth preferred to leave Buckingham Palace, too big and too in need of restoration, with drafts everywhere, old systems and leaking pipes. With the death of her husband Philip and her increasing age, her Majesty found Windsor much more comfortable and except for a few short stays in Balmoral, Elizabeth has always remained at the Castle that bears the name of her family.
Kate Middleton, the royal residences in Windsor discarded
At this point William and Kate, after months of indecision, have confirmed through their staff that they will be moving to Windsor in the summer. But where? According to sources close to the Palace, the Dukes are looking for a private home after they have discarded all the royal residences (and there are many).
Among the options rejected by Will and Kate, is the well-known Frogmore Cottagethe house in which Harry and Meghan Markle lived after their wedding and on which they spent thousands of pounds on its renovation and of which they just renewed the lease. They also excluded Prince Andrew’s Royal Lodge and Fort Belvedere, the former home of King Edward VIII. They also took a look at Adelaide Cottage, nestled in the heart of Home Park in Windsor, but it is currently inhabited so they opted for something else.
The relocation of the Dukes of Cambridge appears permanent. In fact, it won’t just cover the summer months. Lady Middleton he would be looking for new schools for his children George and Charlotte and a nursery for Louis. According to reports from the Daily Mailwould have already visited several institutes in Buckinghamshire, Windsor and Surrey and the Lambrook School, in Ascot.
Kate Middleton, worries for the Queen
William and Kate’s intent is to stay close to the Queen, especially in this delicate phase for the Monarchy. One of their main concerns it is Prince Andrew who is spending a lot of time with his mother. Already during the commemoration of the Duke of Edinburgh he played a leading role, despite being dismissed from court after the Epstein scandal. The Cambridge family and with them Carlo and Camilla would like to avoid the same thing happening for the Queen’s Jubilee. It seems in fact that Elizabeth believe in the innocence of the child and be inclined to forgive him, despite the continuing disappointments.
The transfer of William and Kate would be a way to free the Sovereign from the influence of Andrea who, as is known, is her favorite son, despite what he has done.
