The Prince and Princess of Wales<\/a> have moved into their new forever home, Forest Lodge, where they reportedly intend to stay even after William becomes king. And in what many are suggesting is a first look, the property looks homey, elegant, and altogether regal.<\/p>\n

William shared a video<\/a> for the Royal British Legion earlier this week that was thought to have been filmed inside the home. In the background, we see minimalist damask wallpaper on a blueish-gray wall, ivory-coloured doors with gold fringe, framed works of art (one with a gold frame), and heavy wine-red curtains. <\/p>\n

Speaking at the Irish Guards\u2019 St. Patrick\u2019s Day parade in March, Kate told soldiers, \u201cWe are in Windsor at the moment. We were in London but moved there for more green space. It\u2019s close enough to London, not too far away.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Prince and Princess of Wales reportedly moved into the home earlier this month, as their children, Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7, were on their half term holiday. The family previously lived at Adelaide Cottage since 2022. The properties are both located inside Windsor Great Park, and are about four miles apart.<\/p>\n

The BBC reported<\/a> that the family will not have any live-in staff, in-keeping with their life at the four-bedroom Adelaide Cottage. It is thought that the Prince and Princess of Wales are keen to create as private a family home as possible for their children. The same report also stated that Kate and William are funding the move privately and will pay market rent on the property; in 2001, Forest Lodge underwent a restoration costing around \u00a31.5million, and was listed on the rental market for \u00a315,000 per month. <\/p>\n

Kate and William\u2019s new 328-year-old Georgian mansion is larger than their old house \u2013 about twice the size \u2013 and more fitting for their future, as their children are quickly growing into teens. It has eight bedrooms, and its amenities include a ballroom and a tennis court. Conveniently, Kate\u2019s parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, also live nearby.<\/p>\n
