Sources close to the couple have said they are committed to expanding their own Royal Foundation charity by giving more time to pet causes including mental health.

据知情人士透露，威廉和凯特决心扩大王室基金会的慈善事业，在心理健康等他们所关心的事业上投入更多时间。

They have told friends they expect 2017 to be a milestone year, in which they settle into roles that will last until they become king and queen.

威廉和凯特对友人表示，他们希望2017年成为里程碑式的一年，在这一年里他们将努力适应继位前所扮演的角色。

A source said: "The Duke, in particular, has a lot of thinking to do over the Christmas and New Year period.

一位消息人士称：“特别是公爵，他有很多想法要在圣诞节和新年期间落实。”

"He has his job as an Air Ambulance pilot, which he enjoys very much, but he also wants to take on more royal duties, as does the Duchess."

“他非常喜欢现在的空中救护飞行员工作，但和公爵夫人一样，他也想承担更多的王室职责。”

"Decisions about schooling and nurseries are all part of that." The Duke and Duchess are understood to have put Prince George's name down for £6,500-a-term Wetherby School in London, the pre-prep school attended by the young Princes William and Harry.

“部分原因也与孩子上学和入托的决定有关。”据悉威廉和凯特已经为乔治王子申请了伦敦的威瑟比小学，这所预备学校每学期学费为6500英镑，威廉王子和哈里王子小时候都曾在这里就读。
