QUEEN MOVES IN WITH KATE & WILLS!

The Cambridges welcome the beloved matriarch into their home

As palace security reels from an incredibly close call at Windsor Castle over Christmas, in which a man armed with a crossbow got perilously close to the Queen’s private quarters, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have stepped forward with a solution.

A source tells Woman’s Day the couple have suggested Her Majesty, 95, downsizes and moves into the empty apartment next to theirs at Kensington Palace.

“It makes perfect sense, really,” says a palace insider. “With Prince Philip gone, she’s alone, aside from a handful of trusted staff, rattling around Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle – which, due to its sheer size, is terribly difficult to protect. William and Catherine have been worried about her long before an intruder shook everyone up.”

A DOTING GRANDMOTHER

Our insider reveals it was Kate, who turns 40 this week, who initially suggested “perhaps taking her under our wing” at their London residence.
