The Perspex plates on the doors serve the brilliant purpose of preventing grubby fingers from marking the immaculate paintwork&#8230; They\u2019ve cleverly struck a tasteful balance between calm and slightly contemporary by blending neutral tones like ivory and taupe.&#8221;<br data-node-id=\"14.1\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"16\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">However, it turns out that this particular clip doesn&#8217;t actually show Forest Lodge after all, but rather a quiet corner of Windsor Castle: it&#8217;s actually the same spot that Prince William filmed from (speaking Welsh, no less!) back in March for St David&#8217;s Day.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"19\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Kate and William have only been in Forest Lodge for a few weeks, and it&#8217;s about twice the size of their old place.
