Two families asked to vacate properties next to William and Kate's new ‘forever home': report
IN LONDON The Prince and Princess of Wales' upcoming move from Adelaide Cottage to an eight-bedroom mansion has reportedly seen two families asked to relocate. It was recently revealed by The Sun that William, Kate and their children, Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 11, and Prince Louis, seven, are upgrading to their 'forever home', a 300-year-old Forest Lodge in Windsor Great Park, by the end of the year. Renovations are currently underway, funded entirely by the royal couple themselves rather than taxpayers. According to The Mail on Sunday, their decision to move meant that two separate families who lived in cottages nearby rented out by the Crown Estate were asked to leave - a request which, understandably, 'surprised' them. The publication reports that the former residents have moved to 'similar or better housing elsewhere' in the park. 'They were told to move out. I guess they were given somewhere else, but they were told they had to move,' a source told the MoS. 'They were not expecting it. Those houses are very close to the lodge, so they're not going to want any Tom, Dick or Harry living in those houses if there are going to be royals there.' Privacy has been a key priority for the Wales' in recent years, particularly amid Kate's health issues, and it's understood they will continue to have no live-in staff once they move into the larger home. Insiders told The Sun the couple is hoping for a 'fresh start' after a difficult period during which the late Queen died and both the King and Kate were diagnosed with cancer. The publication also reported that planning applications have been submitted for renovations, which will include 'minor internal and external renovations' at the 328-year-old property. 'Windsor has become their home,' a source told The Sun. 'However, over the last few years while they have lived at Adelaide Cottage there have been some really difficult times. 'Moving gives them an opportunity for a fresh start and a new chapter; an opportunity to leave some of the more unhappy memories behind. This is a move for the long-term. They see it as their forever home.' The Wales' first moved from Kensington Palace in London to Windsor in 2022. Their new home is less than 10 kilometres from Adelaide Cottage.

Prince William and Kate make major move after tough year
IN LONDON The Prince and Princess of Wales have made a major decision about their future after a challenging couple of years. Prince William and Kate, along with their children, Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7, are set to move from Adelaide Cottage to their new 'forever home', the eight-bedroom Forest Lodge, in Windsor Great Park. Insiders told The Sun the couple is hoping for a 'fresh start' after a difficult period during which the late Queen died and both the King and Kate were diagnosed with cancer. The publication also reports that planning applications have been submitted for renovations, which will include 'minor internal and external renovations' at the 328-year-old property. It's also understood that the couple is paying for the work out of their own pocket, unlike Prince Harry and Meghan's home upgrades on Frogmore Cottage in 2019, which cost British taxpayers approximately $5 million. 'Windsor has become their home,' a source told The Sun. 'However, over the last few years while they have lived at Adelaide Cottage there have been some really difficult times. 'Moving gives them an opportunity for a fresh start and a new chapter; an opportunity to leave some of the more unhappy memories behind. This is a move for the long-term. They see it as their forever home.' The Wales' first moved from Kensington Palace in London to Windsor in 2022. Their new home is less than 10 kilometres from Adelaide Cottage. Forest Lodge last underwent renovations in 2001, costing around $3 million, and was valued at approximately $11.4 million at the time. It's understood to be worth around $30 million now. William and Kate don't currently have any live-in staff - and it's expected that will continue to be the case when they move into their new home.
