The recent break-in at Windsor Castle was enough to put an already stressed-out Prince William and Princess Catherine on edge, and that was before the security threat made global news.

But it seems itโ€™s King Charles to the rescue for worried son William, 42, and his young family โ€“ with the monarch offering up Clarence House as their temporary home while security is tightened up around the palace grounds.

โ€œThe entire royal family are concerned by this break-in and the Kingโ€™s not wasting any time issuing a full review of security and issuing appropriate upgrades,โ€ a royal insider tells Womanโ€™s Day.

โ€œBut in the meantime, the biggest priority is the safety of William and his family. Charles is horrified that intruders were able to get so close to them.โ€

KIDS โ€˜HAVING NIGHTMARESโ€™

Although the worried parents were able to initially shield Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six, from details about the burglary, the children have since heard whispers about what happened so close to their home โ€“ and are even having nightmares about it.

โ€œOf course itโ€™s scared the living daylights out of Kate and the kids, and now theyโ€™re having trouble sleeping because of it,โ€ the insider explains. โ€œCharles doesnโ€™t want any more stress on that family, theyโ€™ve gone through enough. He wants them nearby, knowing theyโ€™re safe, and William and Kate are seriously considering taking him and Camilla up on their offer.โ€

The source adds, โ€œClarence House is about 30km from the kidsโ€™ schools and a slightly longer school run, but itโ€™s a small price to pay for their familyโ€™s safety.โ€

Understandably, the security breach has the whole family on high alert, as police are still investigating and no arrests have been made. The burglary has also brought back haunting memories of Christmas Day three years ago, when an intruder broke into Windsor armed with a loaded crossbow and a terrifying plot to kill Queen Elizabeth II.

โ€œItโ€™s disgraceful that something this scary has happened again and itโ€™s likely thereโ€™ll be some rejigging of the budget to allow for more security expenditure,โ€ the insider explains.

For now, itโ€™s no imposition for Charles, 76, and Queen Camilla, 77, to hand over Clarence House, as theyโ€™re often travelling and staying between their royal homes.

And weโ€™re told the King is secretly pleased at the thought of having his oldest son and beloved daughter-in-law Kate, 42, close by, not to mention being able to spend more quality time with the grandkids!

โ€œHe loves the idea of having them around, especially in the lead-up to Christmas,โ€ the source says of the King, who has been battling cancer.

โ€œIf this challenging year has shown him anything, itโ€™s that time is precious โ€“ and heโ€™s determined to make as many memories with his family as possible while he still can.โ€
