Three years ago, Prince William and Kate Middleton traded their primary residence, Kensington Palace's four-story, 20-room Apartment 1A, for a cozier family home: four-bedroom Adelaide Cottage on the grounds of Windsor Castle, about an hour outside of London.
Now, RadarOnline.com can reveal, they're looking to upgrade again, to a grand Crown Estate property nearby.

William and Middleton are eyeing Fort Belvedere as their next family home.

The couple, a source said, feel they "need somewhere more substantial" to raise Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7.

"The Fort," a source told the outlet, would be "the perfect new home" for the family of five.
