Most young couples shudder at the very thought sharing a roof with their parents but the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are so keen to keep her parents close they’ve built them a room in their new Kensington Palace apartment.
William and Kate moved into the Middleton’s Berkshire home a couple of days after the birth of Prince George last month.
They have stayed there ever since, only leaving to spend a few nights at their Anglesey farmhouse accompanied, of course, by doting grandmother Carole.
In October, the new family will leave Berkshire for good to move into their newly renovated 21-room apartment at Kensington Palace.
But their change of address doesn’t mean seeing less of Carole — the UK’s Daily Telegraph reports the couple’s new home has at least one guest room set aside for the Middletons.
William and Kate have bucked royal tradition by not employing a full-time nanny, instead relying on a few part-time carers who will take care of the baby while they are out completing official royal duties.
Without professional help, the new parents have been leaning heavily on Carole to support them through the first few weeks of George’s life.
Even grandfather Michael Middleton has played a pivotal role, taking the photos that became the first official portraits of the new prince.
Carole also took a “strong interest” in the interior decoration of Kate and William’s new apartment, helping her daughter choose everything from paint colour to furniture.
