CHILL OUT Cambridges To Move Family Into Adelaide Cottage In Windsor Prince William and Kate Middleton will move their family into a fourbedroomed home on the Windsor estate this summer. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, are reportedly set to uproot their family from Kensington, west London, to Adelaide Cottage in Berkshire in order to be closer to the Queen.
