Prince Andrew is still dominating headlines this week as the ongoing scandals surrounding the royal continue to swirl. After dropping the use of his royal titles last Friday, it is believed that Andrew hoped accusations against him – which he continues to firmly deny – following his previous association with the late convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein would come to an end.

However, this has not been the case. Instead, Andrew has faced a wide range of public criticism, with calls to officially strip his titles in Parliament and evict him from his 30-room Royal Lodge mansion. While members of the Royal Family have tried to ignore the scandals and carry out royal duties, some may have noticed that Prince William and Princess Kate have not carried out any public engagements since last Friday when it was revealed Andrew would no longer use his royal titles.

Although the Prince and Princess of Wales have not commented on the matter, their absence over the last week is believed to be for one reason only.

This reason is not to do with Prince Andrew, and instead is to do with their three children Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, seven.

This is because the three children all finished Lambrook School for half term on October 17 – the same day Andrew relinquished the use of his royal titles.

When their children are off from school, William and Kate, both 43, typically to take a temporary break from public-facing royal duties to spend as much time as possible with their children.

It is believed that while they sometimes stay at their Windsor home during this time, they often also spend some half-term breaks in their other royal residences, including Amner Hall in Norfolk.

This half term, however, the future King and Queen are expected to be extra busy in Windsor as they prepare to move house.

Although an official moving date has not yet been publicly confirmed, the family are set to up and move to their new Forest Lodge Windsor home before November 5.

This means that William and Kate, along with their children, will no doubt have been busy packing moving boxes over the last week at their Adelaide Cottage home.

The family are believed to be excited for the big move, with Forest Lodge expected to be their “forever home”.
