Royal Renovation: Kate Middleton and Prince William's Move to Forest Lodge in Great Windsor Park
Renovations are underway as Kate Middleton and Prince William prepare to move to Forest Lodge in Great Windsor Park with their three children. The couple had initially planned to move to Fort Belvedere but had to change their plans due to a lease renewal by a Canadian billionaire earlier this year. Forest Lodge, a 328-year-old property with 8 bedrooms and extensive grounds, will be the new home for the royal family. The couple is funding the renovation themselves, and privacy screens have already been installed as builders begin work on the property.
According to a source, Windsor has become a special place for the couple, and they see Forest Lodge as their forever home. The move represents a fresh start and a new chapter for the family, allowing them to leave behind some difficult memories from their time at Adelaide Cottage. The decision to stay in the area reflects their desire for a long-term residence that feels like home.
Reports suggest that William and Kate will not have live-in staff like butlers or valets at Forest Lodge. However, their security team and nanny will reside in nearby cottages to support the family. The couple is aiming to complete the move by Christmas 2025, marking the beginning of a new chapter in their lives at their new residence.
