This has been one of the most trying times for the British royal family, ever since the Queen passed away. Since her departure, they have been trying their best to continue on and get through such a rough period. In public they have maintained a solid united front, but have also dealt with the sorrow of grief and a new reality without the Queen.
While this has been going on, it is also time for some members of the royal family to step up and take on new responsibilities. This mainly includes Prince William and Kate Middleton, who are now going by the titles Prince and Princes of Wales. Not only are they now expected to take on new roles as royals, they also have changes happening within their personal family unit. Prince William and Kate’s kids have just started at a new school. This is because the family recently moved to Adelaide Cottage which is located on the grounds of Windsor Castle, whereas they previously lived in Kensington Palace. This is definitely a big change for their young ones Prince Louis, Princess Charlotte and Prince George.
The big move is happening after the couple decided to leave Kensington Palace in August. Their new home is one with a very old and rich history. Queen Adelaide, who was the wife of King William IV, lived at the cottage, back when it was constructed in 1831.
Even though the kids are now on break and the family is all trying to take some time to relax, Kate has reportedly been struggling to deal with all the changes. A royal expert said that she has been experiencing anxiety and stress since these many added pressures have been added to her shoulders.
When the move took place, their three kids were transferred from Battersea to Lambrook, which is a private school. In August, the family released a statement about the recent changes. “Their Royal Highnesses are enormously grateful to Thomas’s Battersea, where George and Charlotte have had a happy start to their education since 2017 and 2019, respectively, and are pleased to have found a school for all three of their children that shares a similar ethos and values to Thomas’s.”
Jonathan Perry, the headmaster of the new school Lambrook, was excited to welcome the royal family. “We are thrilled that Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis will be joining us this coming September and very much look forward to welcoming the family, as well as our new children, to our school community,” Perry said.
Managing the new schedule for the kids and also the added responsibilities with the Queen’s passing has definitely taken a toll on both Prince Willam and Kate, who are next in line to the throne. Hopefully the stress of all these recent changes will begin to even out for the royal family.
Royal expert Katie Nicholl gave some insight into how much they have been trying to balance their home and work life. “Of course, they took that significant move to move to Windsor right after the summer holidays. Leaving Kensington Palace, enrolling the kids in new schools, and establishing a new life for themselves in Windsor was a major and fairly courageous choice,” she said. “I genuinely believe that they did it so they could remain anonymous and maintain their successful normal family life. Naturally, no one could have predicted that the Queen would pass away in the very beginning of all of that. extremely challenging times. I believe that everyone in the family is under a good deal of tension and anxiety in the background.”
