The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are looking to make London their permanent home next year, with reports the royal couple have put Prince George’s name down at an exclusive school, Wetherby, in the capital city.
The family, who currently reside at the country estate of Anmar Hall in Norfolk, will make Kensington Palace their full-time base in 2017 if the plan goes ahead, with the school located closely near by.
It is the same school Prince William and Prince Harry attended, making it a popular royal choice – and at £6500 (NZD$11,500) a term it really is only for the finest.
It is believed the move is also due to The Queen’s decision to take a step back from some of her duties next year and hand them over to other members of the royal family, particularly William, Kate and Harry.
It is thought William is also considering giving up his career as a helicopter pilot with the East Anglian Air Ambulance to make room for both the move to London, and his increased royal duties. His two-year flying contract comes to an end in March.
“He has his job as an Air Ambulance pilot, which he enjoys very much, but he also wants to take on more royal duties, as does the Duchess,” a source told the Telegraph newspaper.
“Decisions about schooling and nurseries are all part of that.”
The Duke and Duchess originally moved to Norfolk in 2014 for privacy reasons.
