Royal couple moves to Forest Lodge in Windsor

The couple relocates to Forest Lodge in Windsor Great Park in a bid for privacy and a long term family home.

William and Kate move to Forest Lodge for a fresh start

William and Catherine are relocating from Adelaide Cottage to Forest Lodge, an eight bedroom property inside Windsor Great Park. The move places the Prince and Princess of Wales, along with their children George, Charlotte and Louis, closer to Windsor and the schools they attend, with plans to establish this as their long term family home. The move follows a difficult period for the family and is described as a chance to build a more private base while maintaining their public duties.

The decision to move underscores a broader pattern for the royal couple: choosing settings that blend public life with private space. Windsor offers the balance they say they want—being near a royal work hub while reducing London’s constant scrutiny. The focus on a fresh start also signals a shift from year-to-year living to a more rooted, long term life that could shape future public expectations. This is not just a house move; it is a statement about living with public attention while protecting family life.
