Following reports that Kate Middleton<\/a> and Prince William<\/a> were considering moving<\/a> into the gothic-revival mansion<\/a> Fort Belvedere<\/a>, the couple’s “forever home” has finally been confirmed. The couple’s children\u2014Prince George<\/a>, Princess Charlotte<\/a>, and Prince Louis<\/a>\u2014are set for a huge move, as the family will be leaving the cozy Adelaide Cottage<\/a> for a much bigger property<\/a> in Windsor<\/a>, Kensington Palace<\/a> has revealed.<\/p>\n

Rather than making King Edward VIII<\/a>‘s former residence of Fort Belvedere their home, the Prince and Princess of Wales<\/a> have settled on Forest Lodge. The 8-bedroom property is situated within Windsor Great Park<\/a>, and will provide more space for the family.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the BBC<\/a>, a royal source<\/a> said, “Windsor has become their home. However, over the last few years while they have lived at Adelaide Cottage<\/a> there have been some really difficult times.” The source continued, “Moving gives them an opportunity for a fresh start and a new chapter…It’s an opportunity to leave some of the more unhappy memories behind.”<\/p>\n

According to the BBC, Kate and William “will not have any live-in staff as they focus on creating as private a family home as is possible.” The publication also suggested that, when Prince William becomes king<\/a>, the family will stay at Forest Lodge rather than moving to Buckingham Palace<\/a>. Furthermore, Kate and William are reportedly “funding the move privately and they will pay market rent on the property,” the BBC explained.<\/p>\n

Before Kate and William move into Forest Lodge, a number of alterations are reportedly being made. “The works include replacing doors and windows, stripping out internal walls, renovating the ceilings, and replacing some floors,” The Independent<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n

Since moving to Adelaide Cottage in 2022, the Prince and Princess of Wales<\/a> and their family have faced a number of personal crises, including Kate’s cancer diagnosis<\/a>. The Princess of Wales has since completed chemotherapy treatment<\/a> and has resumed her duties as a senior royal, making 2025 the ideal time to have a “fresh start” by moving into a new home.<\/p>\n
