Kate Middleton and Prince William Prepared to Make Bold Sacrifice to Prioritize Their Children’s Well-Being…See More

The Prince and Princess of Wales
could change their living arrangements as they look to the future of their young family by abandoning Adelaide Cottage as Prince William and Princess Kate are believed to want to move.

Sources close to the royal couple have indicated that Fort Belvedere, a historic 18th-century mansion nestled in Windsor Great Park, has emerged as a leading contender for the Royal icons, as they look to raise George, Charlotte and Louis.

Once the favored residence of Edward VIII prior to his abdication, the estate offers considerable space and privacy, including amenities such as a tennis court, swimming pool, stables, and a moat.

They’re all features that reflect the scale and function more closely aligned with the status of the future King and Queen, especially when it comes to hosting significant global figures.

“They feel they have outgrown Adelaide Cottage,” an insider told The Mail on Sunday. “And need somewhere more substantial.

“This is the perfect new home for them. It has a swimming pool and tennis court, and Charlotte loves playing tennis.”

The Wales family’s current home has been considered modest by royal standards, and the four-bedroom property was chosen in part due to its proximity to Queen Elizabeth II during her final years.

It was also to offer Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis a more grounded upbringing away from the intensities of central London. Yet, as the children grow and royal duties evolve, the limitations of the property have become more apparent.
So the potential move reflects a broader desire by William and Kate to maintain stability for their children while preparing them for the roles they are destined to inherit, a key part of their life and central role in the monarchy.

One source noted to the Express that “there is quite a spacious red-brick annex building that’s not being used next door to Adelaide Cottage,” though it would require extensive renovation to be viable
Concerns about how royal children travel have also resurfaced recently as Prince George turned 12. Traditionally, heirs to the throne cease traveling with the monarch past a certain age to protect the line of succession.

The Royal expert, Richard Eden, explained, “When Prince William reached the age of 12, he stopped traveling with his father so they had separate flights. Obviously, that is to guarantee the line of succession.”
