William and Kate Set to Relocate to Forest Lodge This Year, Raising Questions for Buckingham Palace

The relocation underscores a preference for privacy, minimal live-in staff, a stable routine for their children.

Overview

  • Kensington Palace confirmed the Wales family will move house later in 2025.
  • Multiple outlets identify Forest Lodge, an eight-bedroom Grade II-listed home in Windsor Great Park, as the reported destination.
  • Builders, new planting and privacy fencing have been observed at the property in recent weeks as preparations progress.
  • Reporting says the couple plan a low-staff household with no live-in staff and may be self-funding renovations and rent.
  • The move has renewed debate over Buckingham Palace’s role while its £369 million refurbishment continues toward a 2027 completion and the King’s intention to base himself there.
