Prince William, Princess Kate and their three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, moved into Adelaide Cottage in Windsor in September 2022, but could the family be set to leave the four-bedroom home?
Reports have suggested that King Charles has requested that his brother Prince Andrew vacates his home, Royal Lodge, and downsize to nearby Frogmore Cottage, which used to be leased by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Other rumours have swirled around who may be moving into Royal Lodge in Andrew's absence, and William and Kate seem to be top of the list.
Firstly, this could be because William is the heir to the throne, and both he and Kate are working royals, warranting them to be given such a grand abode with 30 rooms.
Plus, the couple are now settled in Windsor, with their children attending a nearby school so they would likely be looking to stay in the area.
With their current cottage only having four bedrooms it means they cannot have any live-in staff, and with their royal duties potentially stepping up over the coming years, to support the monarch, they may require the extra help and Royal Lodge would provide ample space for that.

The royals have only given a few glimpses of their new life in Windsor, including a photo in their vast garden for Prince Louis' birthday, however, we do know lots about the property.

The main bedroom has been described by The Sun, and apparently, it features golden dolphins and ceiling rope decorations recycled from a 19th-century royal yacht, creating a very interesting nautical-inspired theme.
