Royal couple Prince and Wales prepare for relocation to Windsor residence
The Wales Family to Move into Forest Lodge in Windsor Great Park
Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their children George, Charlotte, and Louis are set to move into a new home in Windsor later this year. The family's new residence will be Forest Lodge, an eight-bedroom property located within the picturesque Windsor Great Park.
According to reports from Britain's PA Media news agency, this move marks a fresh start for the family following a turbulent period, including the passing of Queen Elizabeth and health challenges within the family.
Forest Lodge, while larger and less private than their current home, Adelaide Cottage, will provide the family with more green space and greater privacy for their young children. This move also involves the installation of new security measures, such as a metal fence with black mesh privacy screens and shrubbery, to enhance privacy.
In addition, the family's decision to make Forest Lodge their permanent home instead of Buckingham Palace is a break from royal tradition and has sparked discussions about the future of the monarchy's London residence.
The family's current home, Adelaide Cottage, is nearby the new property in Windsor. The move during school term time indicates a desire for a more "normal" family life for the children.
Kate Middleton, who revealed her cancer diagnosis and started chemotherapy last March, made a few appearances last summer. In September, she announced she had completed chemotherapy and was "doing what I can to stay cancer free." During her treatment, she stepped back from public life.
Forest Lodge underwent £1.5 million (approximately $2 million) restoration works in 2001. Permission for minor internal and external alterations at Forest Lodge was granted earlier this month. However, specific details about these renovations have not been disclosed.
The move to Forest Lodge is not the first time the family has settled into a new home. As the family prepares for this new chapter, they look forward to creating lasting memories in their new "forever home."
