Prince William and Princess Kate Confirm Move to Windsor’s Forest Lodge This Year

The move is privately financed with market rent paid to the Crown Estate to create a long-term, privacy-focused base in Windsor Great Park.

Overview

  • Kensington Palace said the Wales family will relocate from Adelaide Cottage later this year, with hopes to be settled before Christmas.
  • Forest Lodge is an eight-bedroom, Grade II–listed Georgian house in Windsor Great Park that multiple outlets describe as their intended “forever home,” even after William becomes king.
  • Minor renovations and privacy measures, including new shrubs and screens, are underway and funded by the couple, who will maintain their no–live-in staff arrangement.
  • Two Crown Estate tenants in cottages near Forest Lodge were asked to move earlier this summer and have been rehoused within the park, according to reports.
  • The location keeps the children close to Lambrook School, and reporting notes William’s Duchy of Cornwall income enables the couple to cover rent and upgrade costs privately.
