Prince William and Kate reportedly want to move to Windsor as soon as this summer to be closer to the Queen.
After his grandmother has suffered a series of health scares, the Duke of Cambridge now wants to move to be closer to her, The Sun reported.
This year the Queen has suffered from a number of health issues since last year which saw the 95-year-old miss out on a number of engagements.
The Cambridges, who currently split their time between Kensington Palace, London and Anmer Hall, Norfolk are said to have been checking out a number of royal mansions closer to the Queen in Windsor.
This included scouting out Prince Andrew’s Royal Lodge, but the disgraced prince reportedly has no intention of budging.
The couple have ruled out apartments inside Windsor Castle and Fort Belvedere, once home to King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson, which sits on the edge of Windsor Great Park, reports The Sun.
Insiders claim the Cambridges also considered Frogmore House, where they often take their three children, George, eight, Charlotte, six, and Louis, three, to play at weekends.
There were rumours the couple could move into Adelaide Cottage, which sits in the shadow of Windsor Castle, but the property is currently occupied.
Alongside hunting a new home, William and Kate are reportedly looking at schools in Windsor, Buckinghamshire, and Surrey.
It comes as Prince William is reportedly planning to reinvent the role of the Prince of Wales - and his wife, the Duchess of Cambridge, will play a key role in the future.
William, 39, is set to inherit his dad's Prince of Wales title when Charles becomes King and he is already looking ahead to how he will carry out his new duties.
Palace aides are said to be describing the strategy as 'the Cambridge way', with Kate, 40, expected to undertake more solo overseas tours and William to focus on a handful of charities.
William is said to be considering cutting the number of charities the Prince of Wales usually retains, with a focus on mental health, the environment and children's early years.
The new strategy will reportedly harness the Duchess of Cambridge's popularity, with Kate increasingly sent on overseas tours alone.
William also intends to axe the half the estimated 140 members of staff working for the Prince of Wales when he takes over the role.
The Cambridge blueprint marks a change from Charles' strategy as the Prince of Wales - but the new plans are not said to be a swipe at the future King.
