Overview
- Kensington Palace announced on August 16 that Prince William and Princess Catherine will relocate with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis later this year.
- Forest Lodge, a circa-328-year-old, eight-bedroom Grade II-listed Georgian lodge in Windsor Great Park owned by the Crown, is identified as their new primary residence.
- Planning applications for minor internal and external works were submitted in June and approved this month by the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead.
- The couple will personally fund all renovation costs and pay market rent for Forest Lodge without drawing on taxpayer money or employing live-in staff.
- William and Kate will retain Anmer Hall in Norfolk and Apartment 1A at Kensington Palace as they aim to complete the Windsor move by Christmas.
