All About Prince William and Kate Middleton's $21 Million "Forever Home," Forest Lodge

The Georgian mansion was built in 1770 and purchased by the Crown in 1836. The Gist Prince William and Kate Middleton have decided that Forest Lodge will be their "forever home." The new property is roughly four miles from Adelaide Cottage, where the family has lived since 2022. Forest Lodge is located in Great Windsor Park; Windsor Castle and Adelaide Cottage are part of an adjacent estate, Windsor Home Park. Prince William and Kate Middleton are gearing up for one last move just a few miles down the road from their current home, Adelaide Cottage. Situated in Great Windsor Park, Forest Lodge will host the Wales family just in time for Christmas, if all goes to plan, and many more holidays after that. 'This is a move for the long-term,' one insider told The Sun when news of the family's move first broke. 'They see it as their forever home.' With eight bedrooms and six bathrooms, Forest Lodge is roughly double the size of Adelaide Cottage. The property is also even more "isolated" than their previous home, given that it is further from Windsor Castle and nestled deeper in the private grounds of Great Windsor Park. The couple's previous homes include Kensington Palace, where they lived on and off from 2013 to 2022, and Adelaide Cottage, where the family of five currently resides. William and Kate first lived together as roommates at St. Andrews University and rented a home in Anglesey, Wales, when William was stationed there as a Royal Air Force pilot. Ahead, everything you should know about the Prince and Princess of Wales's future "forever home," Forest Lodge. Forest Lodge is over 250 years old. Forest Lodge was built by non-royals in 1770 and acquired by the Crown on June 27, 1829 (as of 2025, that makes it 255 years old). The property was then known as Holly Grove, presumably because its original owner, Spencer Mackay, owned multiple sugar plantations in the Caribbean, including one called Cane Grove. In her 1997 book Royal Landscape: The Gardens and Parks of Windsor, Jane Roberts reported that Sir John Aird, who lived in the mansion in the mid-20th century, found the name "distasteful." It was thus renamed Forest Lodge in 1937. It's only four miles from Adelaide Cottage. Adelaide Cottage and Forest Lodge are located nearby and yet not quite on the same property; while the former is in Windsor Home Park, the latter is in the adjacent Great Windsor Park. Still, the two homes are only four miles apart. This closeness represents a marked difference from their last move, which saw the family of five relocate from Kensington Palace all the way to Adelaide Cottage (a roughly 24-mile trip from the center of London to Windsor). Recall that the move "surprised a lot of people" when they left the big city in 2022. "Being able to live in the middle of Windsor Home Park, where they're not overlooked and can come and go in complete privacy, makes the downsize from Kensington Palace worth it on every level," royal author Katie Nicholl told OK magazine at the time. Princess Anne almost lived there instead. Apparently Princess Anne and her first husband, Captain Mark Phillips, considered moving into Forest Lodge after they married in 1973. A report from The Daily Telegraph from December 1975, two years after Anne married, stated that she had considered the property. The newlyweds moved into Oak Grove House, a five-bedroom Georgian house located at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, instead. Then, in 1976, they relocated to the Gatcombe Park estate in Gloucestershire, where Anne still lives today. (The couple divorced in 1992.) It's an "isolated" property. And the Wales family likes it that way. Moreover, the move represents something of a "fresh start" for the family, who experienced "three really tough years" that included the death of Queen Elizabeth II and Kate Middleton and King Charles's dual cancer diagnoses. 'They are looking forward to creating many happy memories in their new home and leaving some of the unhappier ones behind," a source told The Daily Mail. 'It's about as isolated as you can get there, so you can see the attraction for them,' another insider added. 'It's situated in a huge private chunk of Windsor Great Park, and the children can go out cycling for miles and not come anywhere near any of the local residents. There's a nearby fishing lake that's open only to staff, but that's it. It's also a lot closer—probably a 15-minute drive—to their current school.' Prince William and Kate Middleton are renovating. According to The Sun, William and Kate 'are paying for the move and rent at no extra cost to the taxpayer.' The property is currently undergoing "minor internal and external renovations" in the hopes that the family can move in by Christmas. 'Kate has already been spotted picking new furniture to kit out the new abode, including a 24-seater table,' the outlet reported. They plan to live there long-term. Indeed, the property has been dubbed their "forever home" by royal insiders, and it seems that the Wales family will remain there even once Prince William is crowed King. This break in tradition would make William the first monarch since medieval times to not live in a castle or a palace. 'The late Queen said she had to be seen to be believed,' one source told The Daily Mail. 'I just hope that the Prince of Wales can find the right balance between raising his family away from the public glare at Windsor with the presence required of him as a future, and eventual, head of state.'

Ikea's most Ikea product ever

Ikea is teaming up with a Swedish designer for its latest collection, and the first product being teased is a dedicated plate for Ikea's greatest product: meatballs. The 12-piece Gustaf Westman collection that's launching on September 9th includes a chunky blue serving dish that is shaped to fit exactly 11 of the delicious morsels 'in a celebratory row.' 'I love designing objects for a specific function – it brings a touch of humor and makes them instantly easy to grasp. In Sweden, meatballs mean Christmas, and this plate is my way of honoring that tradition,' says Westman. 'The design is simple, lining up the meatballs so each one is visible, like they're sitting on little thrones. And while it was created with meatballs in mind, it works just as well for many other dishes.' I'm already a big fan of Westman's signature playful style, and I think it pairs beautifully with Ikea's brand aesthetic. Even the five-step instruction manual for this meatball plate is equal parts amusing and charming. I'm going to try (and likely fail) to convince myself that I don't need a dish for displaying meatballs at whatever price tag it gets upon release.

Son of VA bowling billionaire wins bid to seal bitter divorce case after wife said he cheated with nanny, dumped her on Christmas Day

The son of a Virginia bowling billionaire embroiled in a bitter divorce worth tens of millions won a bid to seal his divorce case ahead of a courthouse showdown next week with his estranged psychologist wife. Race car-loving scion Peter Goodwin was granted his request by an Albermarle County Circuit Court judge Monday to have the entire divorce case sealed, stretching back to when he first filed to split from wife and mother of his four children Cara Goodwin in January, court records show. 5 Peter Goodwin has won a bid to seal the divorce case he filed against his estranged wife Cara Goodwin. Advertisement The sealing order means that all of the court papers in the case will no longer be publicly accessible, including Cara's accusations that Peter dumped her on Christmas Day 2023 as she held their 4-month-old baby and his papers admitting to having an affair with their former nanny Annette Lombard. The estranged couple, both 40, are slated to face each other in court in Charlottesville on Aug. 27 in a hearing that is currently slated to be open to the public, court records show. 5 Cara accused Peter of having an affair with their former nanny Annette Lombard (pictured). Facebook / Annette Lombard Advertisement Peter, whose dad is uber-successful entrepreneur William Goodwin, proceeded to spend the months after he announcement cavorting with Lombard, 27, and engaging 'in adulterous acts' with her at fancy hotels like the Four Seasons in Surfside, Fla. and at a ski resort in Jackson Hole, Wyo, court papers alleged. Lombard initially began working for the couple around 2019 when she was 21 and an undergrad at the University of Virginia — which William sat on the board of four years after being appointed by former Gov. George Allen and again by ex-Gov. Bob McDonnell. By 2020, Lombard started working at Peter's office and was eventually promoted to vice president of the company, Cara alleged in court papers. 5 A race car-loving Peter is the son of Virginia billionaire William Goodwin. Advertisement One text exchange revealed the extent of hostilities between the separated duo, according to a report by the Daily Mail. 'Did your family find out what really happened and that you were lying to them too?' Cara wrote. 'I offered you $45 million and a lot of custody for years of marriage,' Peter replied. 'You trounce around your palace with 2 housekeepers and nanny and still think I owe you more. You can't even engage in conversation unless it's 100% what you want.' 5 Peter and Cara share four children. Advertisement 'I am far from perfect and have surely made some mistakes,' Peter continued. 'I felt I didn't like the way you treated me or made me feel. People get divorced because of anger and resentment, not for some one-time thrill.' 'You have no idea how to coparent… instead you threaten me about the schedule. Disparage me. Restrict my time with the kids… stomp on my boundaries,' Peter said. 5 Cara accused Peter of breaking up with her on Christmas day 2023 as she held their 4-month-old daughter. Instagram/parentingtranslator William Goodwin had his hand in a slew of businesses including co-owning the AMF Bowling chain and running investment entities CCA Industries and the Riverstone Group — which has interests in everything from Kiawah Island Golf Resort in South Carolina to the tony Jefferson Hotel in Richmond, Va. William has donated tens of millions of dollars to help fund education and cancer research. A rep for Peter declined to comment. Cara's lawyer didn't immediately return a request for comment.
