Prince and Princess of Wales 'consider leaving Adelaide Cottage'
The royal couple have lived in the grounds of Windsor Castle for the last three years, but they are now considering relocating to somewhere bigger, with Fort Belvedere - which is located in Windsor Great Park - being tipped as one possible destination.
A source told the Mail on Sunday newspaper: "They feel they have outgrown Adelaide Cottage and need somewhere more substantial.
"This is the perfect new home for them. It has a swimming pool and tennis court, and Charlotte loves playing tennis."
The Prince and Princess of Wales - who have Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, ten, and Prince Louis, seven, together - are currently evaluating their options, but no move is imminent.
Earlier this year, the Princess announced that she was in remission from cancer.
The 43-year-old royal took to social media in January to reflect on her emotional return to the Royal Marsden Hospital in west London, where she received treatment for cancer, and to confirm that she was in remission from the disease.
Catherine - who went public with her cancer diagnosis in March 2024 - wrote on X: "I wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you to The Royal Marsden for looking after me so well during the past year.
"My heartfelt thanks goes to all those who have quietly walked alongside William and me as we have navigated everything.
"We couldn't have asked for more. The care and advice we have received throughout my time as a patient has been exceptional.
"In my new role as Joint Patron of The Royal Marsden, my hope is, that by supporting groundbreaking research and clinical excellence, as well as promoting patient and family wellbeing, we might save many more lives, and transform the experience of all those impacted by cancer.
"It is a relief to now be in remission and I remain focussed on recovery. As anyone who has experienced a cancer diagnosis will know, it takes time to adjust to a new normal. I am however looking forward to a fulfilling year ahead. There is much to look forward to. Thank you to everyone for your continued support. C (sic)"

Man with rare blood type makes 100th donation
A man with a rare blood type who made his 100th donation this year is encouraging others to give blood. Robert Boocock, from York, has been donating his rare B-negative blood for 40 years, after being inspired by his uncle, also a long-term donor. The 61-year-old is one of fewer than 20,000 B-negative blood donors in England, according to NHS Blood and Transplant. The NHS said it had lost almost 1,000 B-negative donors in the last year - or 5% of the B-negative donor base. When Mr Boocock was 21 and working for his uncle, he asked why he would regularly donate blood. "I hadn't realised that when I was quite young, my auntie had an operation that went slightly wrong, and she needed over 20 units of blood to make it through," he said. "That got me thinking, that's 20 people that can only donate once every few months. "I thought, I've got spare in my body, so why don't I volunteer?" 'Not going to stop' By donating over the years, Mr Boocock found out that his blood was suitable for newborns, who can only be transfused with blood lacking cytomegalovirus (CMV), a mild and common virus that most people catch as a child. "Occasionally when I donate, they say this one will be going to the neonatal ward," the donor said. "That's quite a nice thought that it's going straight to a little baby perhaps that doesn't know they need it." The NHS has appealed for younger donors to give blood, as up to 200,000 new donors are needed each year to replace those who stop donating. "I liken donating blood to a bank account, basically," Mr Boocock said. "Unless you put some in, how could you rely on there being some there when you may need it?" After 73 donations, his uncle had to stop for health reasons - which encouraged Mr Boocock to keep going. "Once I passed that, I thought, I'm not going to stop now. Let's see how many I can keep going with, until I no longer can," he said. "Hopefully that will be for many years to come."
