Today he and his wife Kate Middleton are happily expecting their third baby - George and Charlotte will soon have a sister or brother. Prince William has long stated that he and Kate are dreaming of a big family, in which at least three charming little ones will rush around the house. In April of this year, it will be clear who will be born to them - a son or a daughter, they are already talking not only in a whisper, but also loudly aloud that the Duchess is already expecting twins!
Provincial silence as an alternative to a heavy crown
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge William and Catherine never cease to dream of a quiet provincial life. The absence of press attention is regarded by them as the best gift and great happiness.
Anmer Hall, 1802 Gregorian mansion,located in Norfolk, was a wedding gift from Queen Elizabeth to Prince William and Kate in 2011. William is madly attached to him, here with his brother, Prince Harry, they spent the golden time of their childhood, a guest on vacation with the banker Hugh Van Katsem, who rented the palace from the royal family from 1990 to 2000.
Family life
He and Kate have very little time left until the moment when it will be necessary to fully immerse themselves in state and international affairs. The Queen and Prince Charles can no longer perform their functions 100%. But there is still time, albeit a little. Apparently, therefore, the spouses have an acute desire to use it in order to live a normal family life, give birth to children and give them the maximum necessary parental attention. This luxury will not be available to them in 5-10 years, when the couple is completely and completely immersed in work.
Maybe that's why William desperately begged Elizabeth in 2015 to move with Kate to his palace in the quiet provincial Norfolk and indulge in family life, removing himself as much as possible from royal duties. The Queen for a long time could not accept his arguments, but her favorite William was so adamant and stubborn (like herself) that Her Majesty had no choice. This is still her favorite grandson! Let him enjoy his life while there is at least some opportunity.
The luxury of privacy
Those who have something to protect, try to protect it. World playersarenas value their privacy a hundredfold. His home is not Olympus, and he is not God. The Duke of Cambridge William is the man destined to be a prince. But also a husband and father. His wife hates cooks, she loves to cook and run the household herself. Why let extra people into the holy of holies - into your family? Why should someone's hands be applied to the house where happiness lives, built by themselves? William supports Kate in this 100%. There is a nanny, there is a housekeeper. Kate personally shopped at the popular Norfolk farm store.
Not a palace family idyll at all
The usual dinner in the ducal family - noise, din, bustle! Children do not want to eat vegetables, "we want french fries"! Palace service? Full of you! Food is brought from the kitchen right in the pots!
William and Kate - the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge - take turns bathing the kids before bed, dad reads a fairy tale to the little prince and puts him to bed even more often than mom, he knows that "The Gruffalo" by Julia Donaldson is George's favorite book. The family has a pet - Lupo the spaniel running around the palace uncontrollably, as well as Marvin the hamster.
Friends
They are so pleased with the idea that in Norfolk they can safely go and buy a toy for their son in the store! No one will run after them with a camera.
The couple have a huge number of friends in quiet and sleepy Norfolk. The Duke of Cambridge's cousin William lives in the next village, most of the locals have children, there are always playmates for George and Charlotte.
In beloved Norfolk, William and Kate oftenlong walks in parks, dine in village pubs. The Duke of Cambridge William loves to ride a bike, and Kate enjoys walking the streets of the town of Holt and the village of Burnham Market.
Service for good
The Prince received his commission in December 2006 and was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the Royal Cavalry. In 2009, he graduated from the RAF flying school in Cranwell and worked in the Royal Air Force, where his career growth was waiting for him: the Duke of Cambridge, William, earned the rank of captain.
Prince loves his job today, he is in the civil service, working on an ambulance helicopter based at Cambridge Air Base. William works alternate day and night shifts and is responsible for East Anglia. The Duke speaks about the importance of medical aviation, especially now, in difficult and conflicting wartime.
