Prince William and Kate Middleton are reportedly planning to leave London and set up camp near Windsor Castle.
According to a Royal Expert, Katie Nicholl “Neither William nor Kate have ever been London people and have never enjoyed the chaos of the city.”
“Whilst their home at Kensington Palace is highly secure, they have often felt overlooked and that they lacked privacy. The older their children get, the more apparent this has become,” she added.
If the Duke and Duchess relocate they would be just a few minutes drive away from the Queen. Nicholl, in a video stated, “Windsor seems like the ideal situation. The castle is huge in itself and is the Queen’s permanent residence now but there are other housing options for them.”
Bringing their kids to school is also pretty difficult because of the busy London roads and moving to Windsor can make the family’s lives easier.
According to her, everything is on the table and up for discussion.
Currently, the royal pair reside in Anmer Hall, Norfolk where they will spent England’s third lockdown this winter.
Therapy Works CEO Dr Tahir Zahoor, while addressing a press conference on Saturday, said that Zahir Jaffer is an alcoholic who has been playing lunatic after murdering Noor Mukadam.
“We went to a medical scene, not a crime scene,” he added.
“We were interested only in getting the boy out safely. We had no crime scene before us. It could be confirmed by the servants and the CCTV [footage]. He (Jaffer) was completely normal before the police arrived. As soon as the police entered, he started the drama,” Zahoor said.
Dr Tahir Zahoor also said that when they called Zahir’s father to inform him about Noor’s dead body, he said that maybe Zahir murdered her because of over-drinking. He added that the reaction of Zahir’s father was normal, Hum News has reported.
Earlier, during a police investigation, it was revealed that Jaffer informed his father on July 20 about what he had done to the victim, and in response, the suspect’s father contacted Therapy Works, seeking its help in getting his son out of the house.

A new study has found that many people who lose their sense of smell due to coronavirus ultimately regain it, but some survivors have faced smell distortions and unexplained smells, Reuters has reported.
Researchers examined survey responses from 1,468 individuals who had been infected with Covid-19 between April and September 2020 and had suffered loss of smell and taste at the start of their illness. Early on, about 10 percent also reported smell distortions also known as parosmia, and unexplained smells, known as phantosmia.
At an average of six to seven months after the infection and first reporting loss of smell, roughly 60% of women and 48% of men had regained less than 80% of their pre-illness smell ability, and rates of smell distortions and imaginary smells had increased, the researchers reported on Tuesday on medRxiv.
Roughly 47% reported parosmia, saying, for example, “some things now smell like chemicals.” About 25% reported phantosmia.
“Sometimes I can smell burning but no one else around me can,” one respondent reported. Persistent smell problems were seen more often in survivors with more symptoms overall, “suggesting it may be a key marker of long-COVID,” the authors said.
