It was recently revealed that Prince William<\/a> and Princess Kate<\/a> are leaving the “modest<\/a>” Adelaide Cottage<\/a> in favor of their “forever home<\/a>,” Forest Lodge<\/a> in Windsor<\/a>. Now, a royal expert<\/a> has spoken about why the Prince of Wales<\/a> is “breaking<\/a>” multiple royal traditions<\/a> in order to give his three children<\/a>\u2014Prince George, Princess Charlotte<\/a>, and Prince Louis<\/a>\u2014a better life<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As reported by GB News<\/a>, former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond discussed the importance of Kate and William’s move<\/a> to Forest Lodge. “William is focused on creating a stable and private family life: the kind he never had when he was growing up,” Bond explained. “And so he wants to keep his family firmly rooted.”<\/p>\n

Noting that William’s latest move<\/a> is in keeping with his approach to royal life, Bond told the outlet, “He’s already defined the way he wants to do things: he calls it royalty with a small ‘r.'” The royal expert continued, “I think a ‘forever’ home at Forest Lodge is in keeping with that philosophy.”<\/p>\n

Addressing rumors that Prince William doesn’t want to<\/a> live at Buckingham Palace<\/a>, even when he’s king, Bond told the publication<\/a>, “I don’t think William is going to bat an eyelid about breaking certain royal traditions.” The royal expert continued, “He doesn’t want to live in a palace or a castle and he has made up his mind to do things differently.”<\/p>\n

As for why William’s decision to avoid Buckingham Palace is so significant, Bond explained, “Living in a house\u2014albeit a pretty big house as Forest Lodge is\u2014will give his family a much more normal life, and that, I’m sure, is going to stand them in good stead.”<\/p>\n

It appears as though the Prince of Wales will always endeavor to put his family first, even when he’s on the throne.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Yahoo is using AI to generate takeaways from this article.
