William and Kate Settle Into Forest Lodge as Video Location Clarified

The Armistice Day clip was shot at Windsor Castle, not the new residence, reflecting a push to keep family spaces private.

Overview

  • The Prince and Princess of Wales moved into the Grade II-listed, eight-bedroom Forest Lodge in early November, upgrading from Adelaide Cottage.
  • People and HELLO! report that Prince William’s Armistice Day message was filmed at Windsor Castle, countering earlier claims that it offered a look inside Forest Lodge.
  • Coverage credits the Princess of Wales with leading a discreet redecoration, reportedly sourcing Marina Mill fabrics and selecting antiques such as a large dining table.
  • Reports say the couple funded their move and modest refurbishments privately, will pay market rent to the Crown Estate, and filed planning applications in June for minor alterations.
  • Privacy remains a priority at the new home, with outlets noting security measures such as a reported no-fly zone and describing Forest Lodge as the family’s long-term base.
