- Several outlets framed Prince William’s Nov. 11 Remembrance video as a first glimpse inside the house, but People and HELLO! report the backdrop matches a room he uses at Windsor Castle.
- Kensington Palace-linked reporting says the couple paid for minor renovations and their move privately and will pay market rent to the Crown Estate for the property.
- Planning applications filed in June sought consent for modest internal and external alterations to the 328‑year‑old home, which underwent a substantial restoration in 2001.
- Coverage describes Forest Lodge as their intended long‑term base, with reports highlighting Kate’s hands‑on interior direction and the family’s emphasis on seclusion, including no live‑in staff and enhanced privacy measures.
