Prince William & Kate Middleton Are Reportedly Excited to Be Less ‘Watched’ in Their New Home

But there’s another reason for the Cambridges’ move, and it has everything to do with their desire for privacy.

Up until now, William and Kate have split their time between their official offices at Kensington Palace and the family’s country home at Amner Hall. Adelaide Cottage, it seems, will offer the couple and their children the best of both the official capacity their home serves, as well as the comfort of seclusion — at least that’s what one royal expert posits. “I think Wills and Kate need space to bring up their children,” royal insider Ingrid Seward recently shared with The Sun.
