Overview

• Kensington Palace confirmed on August 16 that the Wales family will move later this year to the eight-bedroom Forest Lodge in Windsor Great Park.
• The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead approved plans in August for minor internal and external works at the Grade II-listed property and refurbishment has begun.
• William and Kate will cover all renovation costs and pay market rent on Forest Lodge to avoid any additional burden on taxpayers.
• Royal sources describe the move as a long-term “fresh start” and expect Forest Lodge to serve as the couple’s “forever home” after recent personal challenges.
• The family intends to time the relocation with their children’s Lambrook School term and will retain their Norfolk country home and Kensington Palace apartment.
