On a visit to a goat farm in Wales with Prince William, Kate told how George had been responsible for moving animal feed on the estate.

Kensington Palace might have been built in 1605, but that's not to say it isn't also an extremely high-tech home fit to protect the Royal Family.

move to Adelaide Cottage – a “humble” Grade II-listed property just a short walk from Windsor Castle.While Kensington Palace has been their main residence since 2017, Kate and Wills are said to be keen to raise their children – George, eight, Charlotte, seven, and Louis, four – in more of a rural setting, with the added benefit that they will be just ten minutes away from 96-year-old Queen Elizabeth.The four-bedroom cottage is said to have been chosen by the couple due to its modest offerings and the fact it has no need for renovation, having undergone work in 2015.Many have noted the contrast between the Cambridges’ choice and that of Harry and Meghan, who came under fire after spending an estimated £2.4million of taxpayers’ money renovating their chosen residence, Frogmore Cottage, also in Windsor.
