The Prince and Princess of Wales are preparing for a new chapter as they leave Adelaide Cottage in Windsor with their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, to settle into a larger family home.

Kensington Palace confirmed the move in a statement: “The Wales family will move house later this year.”

A New Home at Forest Lodge

Reports suggest the family will relocate to Forest Lodge, an eight-bedroom residence located in Windsor Great Park. Royal correspondent Danielle Stacey told HELLO! why this property is considered their “forever home.”

“The Prince and Princess of Wales clearly love living in Windsor, the children are settled at Lambrook School nearby, and they will still be close to Windsor Castle for royal functions and engagements. Upsizing to Forest Lodge allows the family more space and has already been viewed as their ‘forever home,’ rather than having the children growing up within the walls of a palace,” she explained.

Renovation Plans

Planning applications submitted to the local council in June outline minor external updates, along with internal and external alterations. According to reports, Prince William intends to cover the cost of the property and all renovations himself. The family will also maintain their preference for not having live-in staff.
