Prince William and Kate move children to new private school

Prince William and Kate want their kids to have a “normal upbringing”.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have confirmed their children’s new school.

Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis will be attending school in Windsor from September.

The siblings and their parents are leaving London for life in Windsor. Both Prince William and Kate want their children to have a “normal upbringing” so they’re moving to a smaller home without any live-in staff.

A source told MailOnline that the parents have been planning on leaving Kensington Palace since last year.

“This is very much a decision that two parents have made to give their children the ‘most normal’ start possible.

“KP can be a little bit of a fishbowl. They wanted to be able to give George, Charlotte, and Louis a bit more freedom than they have living in central London.”

The source added, “It’s very much a decision that’s been led by the kids.”

In a statement today, the parents revealed that their three children will be attending a new private school when they move.

“The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have today announced that Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis will attend Lambrook School in Berkshire from September 2022.

“Their Royal Highnesses are hugely grateful to Thomas’s Battersea where George and Charlotte have had a happy start to their education since 2017 and 2019 respectively.

“They are pleased to have found a school for all three of their children which shares a similar ethos and values to Thomas’s.”

The family of five has moved into the beautiful Grade II listed building Adelaide Cottage in Windsor.

They won’t have any live-in staff at their new home, including the children’s nanny.

Their new home is closer to both Queen Elizabeth and Kate Middleton’s parents. It also offers the family more privacy.
