Matilda is planning to put off commencing college for a year so she can travel, including spending time with her family in Australia.
A source said the teenager wants to spend a ‘gap year’ traveling the world before starting her studies.
Her father’s home country is said to be a major destination of note for Matilda.
‘She’ll also be spending a large chunk of time in Australia. She always feels closest to her dad when she’s there and loves nothing more than hearing his childhood stories from all his family,’ the source said.
