Prince William, Kate Middleton 'Extremely Excited' About Move To Windsor For This Reason: Report

Kate Middleton and Prince William are reportedly excited about the changes moving to Windsor, England, will bring to their family.

Multiple outlets, including People and Us Weekly, confirmed last month that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge reportedly were making preparations to leave their London home at Kensington Palace and relocate to a new residence in Windsor.

The move will not only bring them closer to Queen Elizabeth II, who lives in Windsor Castle full-time, but it will also allow them to raise their children — Prince George, 8, Princess Charlotte, 7, and Prince Louis, 4 — in a "beautiful" area that's not too far from London, an unnamed source told Us Weekly.

"The whole family [is] extremely excited to be moving to Windsor, not just because it will bring them closer to [Queen Elizabeth II], but it's a perfect happy medium that brings them closer to London than if they chose to settle full time in Berkshire or Anmer Hall," the source said.

The insider added that the life change will allow the future king and queen consort to have the best of both worlds.

"They'll still get to enjoy those locations of course, but by being in Windsor, they're only 20 miles from Central London and Buckingham Palace and it's a beautiful environment that's steeped in history and such a special location to call home," the source told the outlet.

Anmer Hall, the couple's country refuge in Norfolk, "is their happy place," an unnamed friend of Prince William's told The Sunday Times, which was the first to report the move. The duke and duchess reportedly will continue to use Kensington Palace as their London base, according to the report.

Royal biographer and editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine Ingrid Seward recently claimed on True Royalty TV's "The Royal Beat" that Prince Harry told a friend of hers that Middleton "was almost a prisoner at Kensington Palace."

The "Prince Philip Revealed: A Man of His Century" author noted that the duchess is unable to do things like walk in the park while living in the London palace due to the "hundreds of people" flocking to the area every day and the massive security.

Last month, an anonymous source told Us Weekly that moving to Windsor will bring the Cambridges closer to Middleton's parents Carole and Michael Middleton, who live in Berkshire.

Prince William and his wife also had their kids in mind when making the decision to move, according to the insider.

"Charlotte can go horse riding in the open air and George can play football on extensive grounds," the source told the outlet. "Louis loves being close to his great-grandma, and he's going to take tennis lessons this summer. They're starting over there, and George, Charlotte and Louis are really excited about going to a new school and being in the countryside in the fresh air where there’s lots of space for them to play freely."
