Princess Kate and Prince William always prioritise their three children, Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six.
Despite the responsibilities that come with being future King and Queen, the couple are hands-on parents, often doing the school run themselves instead of relying on staff.
A Royal expert has claimed that the couple "surprised everyone" when they moved to Windsor in 2022. The family left their London home, Apartment 1A in Kensington Palace, for the more modest Adelaide Cottage.
It was reported that the move was partly to be closer to the late Queen Elizabeth. Adelaide Cottage also offers more privacy and space for their children to live normal lives.
The four-bedroom property doesn't have room for live-in staff, so the family have the whole place to themselves, with some staff reportedly coming in during the day to assist according to the Mirror.
Royal expert Duncan Larcombe shared with OK!, "I think they surprised a lot of people when they moved there," adding, "There are plenty of other places they could have moved to, but Adelaide Cottage fits with their desire as parents to be a normal family, where there aren't servants and they don't have 30 rooms. William would much rather have his kids around him, in the rooms next door to where he's sleeping."

Fellow Royal commentator Katie Nicholl also told the publication: "They are very, very happy there. Being able to live in the middle of Windsor Home Park, where they're not overlooked and can come and go in complete privacy, makes the downsize from Kensington Palace worth it on every level," before explaining, "There's not a huge amount of space, but Adelaide Cottage ticks all the right boxes."
Adelaide Cottage boasts historical significance, having been originally built for Queen Adelaide in 1831 and serving as Queen Victoria's preferred retreat for tea.
While Kate and William are no longer permanent residents of London and maintain their apartment at Kensington Palace, they enjoy their Norfolk home, Anmer Hall, during school breaks.
