William and Kate, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, have added a third furnished home to their collection, which has left taxpayers unhappy.

The couple will move into Adelaide Cottage this summer, alongside their family's London home, Kensington Palace, and their Norfolk home, Anmer Hall.

The hosts of the royally obsessed podcast, Rachel Bowie and Roberta Fiorito, pointed out that the Cambridges had already splashed £12m on renovations for Kensington Palace.

Ms Fiorito added that they wanted to make it more kid-friendly and family-oriented, with the promise that they would be there for the long haul.

Ms Bowie defended the move, stating that William is the future king, and the Queen has many properties.

Despite the controversy, the hosts praised the couple for downsizing their primary home.

Ms Fiorito said that the fact they are moving into Adelaide Cottage is a shock.

It is such a downsize, just four bedrooms, and right next to Frogmore Cottage, where Harry and Meghan live.

A source close to the Cambridges addressed the concerns about the taxpayers, stating that Kate and William were very keen for a modest home to start their new lives in Windsor.

Adelaide Cottage fits the bill because they do not need any more than four bedrooms as they have no live-in staff.

They were adamant they didn't want anything too showy or anything that needed renovating or extra security so as not to be a burden on the taxpayer.

The added bonus is that they can send George, Charlotte, and Louis to school together locally.

The three children will enjoy running around and playing in the gardens, which is the kind of life they enjoy so much when at Anmer Hall.

They will pay rent from their private account, and all they need to do is move in some of their treasured furniture and possessions.

The whole family is looking forward to moving in this summer and starting a new chapter in their lives together in Windsor.

Royal experts suggest that William is moving to Windsor to be closer to the Queen, as he is stepping up his royal duties in preparation for being a future monarch.

Others claim that the move is so the Queen can be closer to her grandchildren George, Charlotte, and Louis.
