Overview

• Kensington Palace confirmed the Wales family will relocate from Adelaide Cottage to the listed Forest Lodge in Windsor Great Park.
• Planning records show approval last month for minor internal and external changes, and refurbishment work has begun.
• Multiple reports citing official documents indicate the couple will pay for the renovations privately rather than using public funds.
• The decision is framed as a 'forever home' choice and a departure from expectations that a future monarch would live at Buckingham Palace.
• Tabloid and local reports claim nearby Crown Estate tenants were asked to move before the relocation, a point not confirmed on the record by the Palace or the Crown Estate.
