Prince William could be asked to spend more time in Scotland under plans reportedly drawn up by palace officials to counter support for independence.

The Duke of Cambridge, known as the Earl of Strathearn in Scotland, would spend more time at Balmoral with wife Kate and strengthen ties with their former university town of St Andrews if the proposals go ahead.

The report comes just days after the couple’s tour of Scotland, in which William said the country was “so important” to him and Kate.
