Overview

• Forest Lodge in Windsor Great Park is widely reported as the Wales family's next long‑term base, described as an eight‑bedroom, Grade II‑listed Georgian house valued at about £16 million ($21 million).
• Local residents near Cranbourne Hall Residential Park say they are broadly welcoming yet worry the location offers less seclusion for the couple and their three children.
• Security and preparation work has been reported around the property, including a perimeter fence with privacy screening and new shrubbery at the front.
• Multiple outlets say two households close to the lodge were asked to move earlier this summer, while follow‑up reporting says tenants received no formal eviction notices and were rehoused within Crown Estate properties.
• People magazine reports the couple do not plan to have live‑in staff at Forest Lodge, with the children’s longtime nanny and housekeepers expected to live in nearby accommodation, and a royal biographer says the ‘forever home’ plan could prompt a future discussion about the monarch’s base.
