PRINCE WILLIAM and Kate are settling into their new home with their children, while the Queen was forced to pull out of a favourite event.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have moved to a cosy cottage, not far from the Queen’s main residence in Windsor.
Kate and William’s children Prince George, Prince Louis, and Princess Charlotte will be attending a new school, the Lambrook, in Berkshire.
It is thought the new move will give the family some well needed privacy, surrounded by the lush sprawling grounds of the Crown Estate.
Kate was spotted taking a drive around the Windsor grounds, near her home this weekend.
Meanwhile, her Majesty the Queen will not be attending Scotland’s Braemar Gathering this year, in the Highlands.
Although it is a vital part of the Highland Games, and is one of the Queen’s much loved events, Prince Charles will take her place.
Mobility concerns meant the Prince of Wales had to take over from the Queen, the Firm announced.
The Monarch recently said she will be appointing the new Prime Minister from Balmoral on September 5.
A source told the Daily Mail that the Queen’s mobility “condition” is not “ideal,” but she is doing well considering her Majesty is “96 after all.”

William & Kate’s first weekend in new home contrasts with Harry and Meghan’s saga
Prince William and Kate’s speedy switch to Windsor led to them spending the first weekend in their new home.
With no expensive new furniture and fittings, or demanding a mass refurbishment, they “travelled light” to Adelaide Cottage.
The Cambridges’ latest move contrasts to a £2.4million saga when Prince Harry and Meghan relocated nearby when they were gifted Frogmore Cottage by the Queen as a wedding present in April 2018.
The whole property required fresh plumbing, rewiring and decoration, and walls were knocked down to transform it into a ten-bed home.
The Sussexes moved out after only six months when they quit royal duty to live in America and now have an £11million nine-bedroom, 16-bathroom mansion in Montecito, California.
