For most of their 11 years of marriage, Prince William and Kate Middleton have lived in a luxurious apartment at Kensington Palace in London.

They often spent time with George, Charlotte, and Louis at their country home, Anmer Hall in Norfolk, but they had long said they wanted to spend more time in the country.

Because it was too far to commute from Norfolk to London for official functions, they found a compromise. They moved to Adelaide Cottage in Windsor. There, they would have easy access to the new day school that the children would be attending, which would be only an hour's drive from the British capital.

According to royal expert Ingrid Sward, the space they will enjoy in Windsor is also a most welcome change.

"I think Wills and Kate need space to raise their children," Sward told The Sun. Kensington Palace is a glorious prison for children. They want to play soccer without being monitored from behind gates."

"I think it's a great place for children to play soccer.

I'm not sure I'd describe the palace as a "prison," but I see Sward's point: no child deserves to be constantly monitored when just playing around and generally trying to be a kid. No wonder Prince George is reportedly so excited about the move.

"I think Windsor is perfect for them. There is a lot of freedom and they can all go to school together," Sward concluded. Well, here's to a happy new chapter for them!
