They currently divide their time between Kensington Palace in London and Anmer Hall in Norfolk, but the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are now said to be considering a permanent move to Windsor to be closer to the Queen – and to enjoy a more secluded life.

While their home in Kensington Palace has a high level of security, it is also surrounded by a public park. In 2017, the royal couple recruited a team of gardeners to plant a row of native conifer trees along the palace grounds in central London, so that their home would be more shielded from passers-by. Royal expert Katie Nicholl tells OK!, “Neither William or Kate have ever been ‘London people’ and have never enjoyed the chaos of the city. While their home at Kensington Palace is highly secure, they have often felt overlooked and that they lacked privacy. The older their children get, the more apparent this has become.

“They love being at Anmer but they need a base that is close to the capital so they can easily return for public engagements and events. Windsor seems like the ideal situation. The castle is huge in itself and is the Queen’s permanent residence now – but there are other housing options for them. Everything is on the table and up for discussion.”
