The couple were previously said to be "toying with the idea" of moving to Australia.

But sources have now said Zara and Mike have compromised on their plans. Instead of moving to the other side of world permanently, Mike and Zara will dedicate a significant amount of their time to Australia in the coming years.

Zara and Mike currently live on Princess Anne's Gloucestershire estate with their three young children - Mia, 10, Lena, five, and three-year-old Lucas.

The source, who previously spoke to Express.co.uk, added that their decision shows their commitment to the King and the Royal Family.

The decision has reportedly filled the King with "extreme joy" after he expressed to courtiers that he wanted to avoid another "Megxit" within the Royal Family.

The source added: "Mike and Zara had both been toying with the idea of moving to Australia for a while but have finally reached the decision that it wouldn’t be right to uproot their family at this time.

"However, there are plans for the family to spend more time in Australia over the coming years which includes both winter and summer holidays abroad with the children [Mia, Lena and Lucas]."

Mike, 45, previously spoke of his love for Australia and his desire to move there. He said: "If we weren't so deeply rooted in England, Australia would be our top pick for a home.

"Australians have a great sense of humour, they like a bit of banter, they don't mind having a go at each other, they don't take each other too seriously... and I'm all about that."

As well as their devotion to the King, Princess Anne is also said to not want her only daughter and her family to move across the world.

The source added: "When the idea was discussed seriously during a sit-down, it drew blank faces and teary eyes from several members of the family.

"It became instantly clear that it wasn’t a move that could ever become permanent. Longer periods of time will be spent in Australia instead."

The couple, who are not official working royals, will soon celebrate their 13th wedding anniversary in July.
