Here's why Prince William and Kate Middleton are looking to move out of Adelaide Cottage
Prince William and Kate Middleton are looking for a permanent change of scenery. The Prince and Princess of Wales are said to be on the hunt for a shiny new property — meaning they are ready to bid adieu to Adelaide Cottage once they find their next base, the Daily Mail reports. Insiders told the outlet that the pair, who wed in 2011, are looking for a larger home for their family that boasts more square footage, larger gardens and more privacy.

As they weigh out their options, sources claim that the pair are eyeing up Fort Belvedere — a stunning gothic-revival mansion located just a stones throw away from Windsor Great Park.

Kensington Palace and Crystal Pix/Why It Matters William is patron of the Football Association, English soccer's governing body, and has a long history of supporting both the England men's and women's teams. However, he usually takes Prince George rather than Charlotte, who is a regular at the Wimbledon tennis championship.

What to Know The TikTok video was posted with the message: "Princess Charlotte cheering on the lionesses tonight for the euro women's finalll 🥺🫶🏻." The clip began by showing some of Charlotte's messages of support in past finals, including in a black-and-white polka dot dress for the 2022 final of the Euro, which England won against Germany. The second clip, in a white stripy t-shirt, is from her message of support ahead of the 2023 Women's World Cup Final, which England lost to Spain. The edit then showed a series of photos from the Euro final on Sunday, which showed Charlotte put her head in her hands during a tense moment as well as some bonding moments with William. There are also pictures in the video of Charlotte meeting Princess Leonor, 19, and Infanta Sofia, 18, both of Spain. Elsewhere, Prince William posted a video that also showed him standing with his arm around Charlotte's shoulders as they watched the England team celebrating their win. This was the first time Charlotte traveled overseas to watch soccer and only her second live game, after she previously watched Aston Villa, William's favorite team, play Norwich in 2019.

You cannot put us down." One fan replied to the video: "It always surreal to me when royalty meets royalty. It's a humble reminder that we are all in the same world. 🥰."
