Prince William and Kate Middleton are reportedly leaving London behind. According to the Sunday Times, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are moving their home base to Windsor, in Berkshire county. Prince George and Princess Charlotte will reportedly leave their school, Thomas’s Battersea, and enroll at a new school near Windsor.

"The reality is they are quite confined in what they can do in London," a friend of the Duke and Duchess told the Times. "The kids can’t go into the park and kick a football with friends. Their plan is to be there for the next ten to 15 years and then move to Anmer, which is so special to them."

The Cambridges will keep their residence in London, and their home in Norfolk, Anmer Hall, but shift their home base to Windsor.

"There is a sense of the future accelerating towards him, which is tinged with profound sadness — though he would never say it publicly — because of the implication that his grandmother would no longer be around, the added pressures on his father and his family being under even more scrutiny," an aide to the Cambridges anonymously told the Times.

The move would make the family of five closer to Queen Elizabeth, who now resides at Windsor full-time, and to Kate's parents, Michael and Carole Middleton, who live in Bucklebury, West Berkshire.

It's not yet clear where at Windsor the Cambridges will live; Adelaide Cottage and "the Big House" have been floated as options for the family.
