Prince William and Princess Kate moving to 8-bed 'forever home' in 'fresh start'

Prince William and Princess Kate are set to move their family to a new home in Windsor by the end of the year, an insider has said. The Prince and Princess of Wales, along with their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, are reportedly set to move to the eight-bedroom Forest Lodge home in Windsor Great Park.

A source said the family are hoping for a "fresh start" at the home, which is larger than Adelaide Cottage where they currently live. It is believed the family see the property as their "forever" home.

Renovations are reportedly underway at the property to enable it to be ready for the family to move in before the end of the year.

The Sun reports that planning applications show how minor work has aready begun at the Grade-II listed lodge, with renovations reportedly set to be funded by the couple themselves.

The source added: "This is a move for the long-term. They see it as their forever home."

A source close to the family reportedly told the tabloid: "Windsor has become their home.

"However, over the last few years while they have lived atAdelaide Cottagethere have been some really difficult times.

"Moving gives them an opportunity for a fresh start and a new chapter; an opportunity to leave some of the more unhappy memories behind."

The family first moved to Windsor in 2022, where they settled at the humble Adelaide Cottage.

It is believed the move out of London was to allow the family to be closer to the late Queen, who died just weeks later, and to give the children a more ordinary way of life with more privacy.

The family have no live-in staff at their current home, with this also reportedly set to be the case once they move into this bigger abode.
