George, Charlotte and Louis at heart of reason William and Kate to leave London

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are escaping London and moving to Windsor for the sake of their children, it is claimed.

Prince William and his wife Kate are expected to uproot their family from Kensington to Berkshire this summer.

They are set to live in a house on the Windsor estate and move into Windsor Castle once Prince Charles becomes King.

Prince George, 8, and Princess Charlotte, 7, will leave their prep school in Battersea and join a private co-educational school in Berkshire.

Their younger brother Prince Louis, 4, will join them at the new school in September.

Friends said William and Kate eventually want to move to their country home, Anmer Hall in Norfolk, once their children have left school.

A friend told the Sunday Times : “The reality is they are quite confined in what they can do in London.

“The kids can’t go into the park and kick a football with friends.

“Their plan is to be there for the next 10 to 15 years, then move to Anmer, which is so special to them.”

Prince William is also poised to join TikTok in a bid to appeal to the younger generation.

A senior aide said: “He is very aware of the need to use new ways of communication. I wouldn't rule out a Cambridge appearance on TikTok.

“He understands that a life of public service in the 21st century is going to be done differently to your grandmother and father.

“He realises the world is a different place to when his grandmother took it on and we're in very different times.

“He is going to step up and deliver.”
