The decision will help the couple avoid the public eye and allow Kate to rest as she continues to battle acute² morning sickness, the Sky News reported, adding that the move was made with the approval of the Queen and the Duke of Edinburg.

Kate's parents Carole and Michael Middleton lived in the village of Bucklebury, about 50 miles (80 kilometers) west of London.

Members of the British royal family usually spend Christmas at Sandringham, a private property of Queen Elizabeth in eastern England, and stay until February, following a custom set by the Queen's father and grandfather.

Kate and William spent Christmas at Sandringham last year, and are expected to visit there for part of this Christmas holiday.

Kate spent four days in hospital earlier this month with an acute morning sickness. A nurse at the hospital later committed suicide³ after not recognizing a hoax⁴ call from two Australian DJs, who disguised⁵ themselves as Queen and Prince Charles.
