Prince William<\/a> is standing firm on his decision to live in his new home<\/a>, even when he is King. The heir is reportedly going to move into his forever home with Kate Middleton and their kids later this year.<\/p>\n

The Prince and Princess of Wales\u2019 family is moving to Forest Lodge from Adelaide Cottage in Windsor Great Park. A source told Vanity Fair\u2019s<\/a> royal correspondent Katie Nicholl that the couple is \u201cmapping out a long-term plan to stay in Windsor\u201d and are \u201cfuture planning\u201d for when they\u2019re King and Queen. The sources also said that it was \u201cunlikely\u201d that the family would live in London and Buckingham Palace. Although they still maintain a residence at Kensington Palace. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s all in keeping with William not wanting to be a drain on the public purse and living as ordinary a life as he can, even when he is King,\u201d the source continued. The last monarch who resided in Buckingham Palace was Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, since King Charles<\/a> currently lives in Clarence House. Prince Edward and his wife Sophie have apartments in the Palace when they\u2019re in London. <\/p>\n

The report also comes after reports that William will make big changes to the monarchy once he ascends with a big \u201coverhaul\u201d on the monarch where it\u2019s starkly different from Charles\u2019 reign. \u201cHe has been thinking about the future for years, and he knows that what his grandmother did and what his father does is an evolution,\u201d Jason Knauf, CEO of Prince William\u2019s\u00a0Earthshot Prize, told the Times<\/a>. \u201cThere are traditions and things that won\u2019t change, but this thinking about the next [role] is how is this going to be reflective of him?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe wants to make sure the whole thing has even more impact and remains relevant,\u201d a friend told the\u00a0Times.<\/p>\n

\u00a0The move is believed to be inspired by a desire to start fresh, after what Prince William recently described as \u201cbrutal\u201d and \u201cthe hardest year in my life,\u201d following cancer diagnoses for both\u00a0Kate Middleton<\/a>\u00a0and King Charles<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, some controversial news stemmed as two families living near the property were reportedly asked to vacate ahead of William and Kate\u2019s move,\u00a0Fox News Digital<\/a>\u00a0reported. \u201cClose neighbors have been surprised to be ordered to leave their properties so that no prying eyes can see the Prince and Princess with their children,\u201d royal expert Ian Pelham Turner told the outlet.<\/p>\n

Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams explained to Fox News Digital that it was all likely due to \u201csecurity reasons,\u201d and that the residents were still allowed to stay on \u201cCrown Estate Land,\u201d just not as close as they were. \u201cThey were reportedly in close proximity to the Lodge,\u201d Fitzwilliams said. \u201cThe Prince and Princess of Wales need shelter from the enormous pressures of royal life with a media circus watching everything they do.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prince William is standing firm on his decision to live in his new home, even when he is…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":114906,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[7709,7730,7731,1760,532,7710,519],"class_list":{"0":"post-373898","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-british-royal-family","9":"tag-charles","10":"tag-charles-iii","11":"tag-king-charles","12":"tag-prince-william","13":"tag-royal-families","14":"tag-royal-family"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115092856862911555","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/373898","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=373898"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/373898\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/114906"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=373898"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=373898"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=373898"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
