Prince William, Kate Middleton moving to new family home for ‘fresh start' after scary cancer battle
Prince William and Kate Middleton, both 43, are relocating to a new family home with their three kids, Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7. 'The Wales family will move house later this year,' a spokesperson at Kensington Palace confirmed to Page Six on Aug. 16. The royal couple moved to their current Adelaide Cottage home in Berkshire in 2022 to be close to their children's Lambrook School, The NY Post reports. Now, they are reportedly relocating nearby to a $21 million eight-bedroom property called Forest Lodge in Windsor Great Park. 'Windsor has become their home,' a royal insider 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,' the source added. Unlike Adelaide Cottage, William and Kate are said to see the move to Forest Lodge as a 'long-term' move into their 'forever home.' The royal pair is also reportedly using their own money to pay the full cost to renovate their new dream house, and insiders claimed that they will also not have any live-in staff. William and Kate were living at Adelaide Cottage, which is not far from Windsor Castle, when the princess was diagnosed with cancer last year. 'In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous. The surgery was successful,' Kate announced in March 2024. 'However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present,' she added at the time. After several months of gruelling chemotherapy, the Princess of Wales revealed that she was finished receiving cancer treatment in September. 'The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family,' Kate said Sept. 9. 'Life as you know it can change in an instant, and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown.' 'The cancer journey is complex, scary and unpredictable for everyone, especially those closest to you,' she added. But despite finishing treatment last year and announcing that she was in remission this past January, Kate is still struggling with her post-treatment recovery. 'You put on a sort of brave face, stoicism through treatment. Treatment's done, then it's like, 'I can crack on, get back to normal,' but actually, the phase afterwards is really, really difficult,' she said in July. 'You're not necessarily under the clinical team any longer, but you're not able to function normally at home as you perhaps once used to,' William's wife added last month.

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.

Vegan activist Tash Peterson raising $30,000 to leave Australia after defamation suit
A controversial vegan activist who filed for bankruptcy after a court found she had defamed a Perth vet is attempting to raise money to leave Australia for 'the world's biggest vegan camp out' in the United Kingdom. Tash Peterson and boyfriend Jack Higgs had their passports confiscated when they filed for bankruptcy in May, after WA Supreme Court Chief Justice Peter Quinlan ordered they pay $280,000 in damages. Justice Quinlan found the pair had published defamatory claims that a Bicton vet was 'eating her own patients', with Ms Peterson claiming the court battled meant her 'personal accounts have been wiped'. The pair returned to social media on Friday to urge their supporters to donate to a GoFundMe campaign to help them acquire $30,000 demanded by their bankruptcy trustees 'because they're concerned we are going to flee Australia for good'. 'Because of this, we are trying to raise funds so that I can give my speech at the Vegan Camp Out,' Peterson said in a video. 'The only purpose of our trip is to speak up for non-human animals. Not to run away. 'We only have one week to raise the $30,000'. The pair said the funds, which will contribute to a bond, will be returned to them when they return to Australia and forfeit their passports once again, and will then go to the animal NGO, Farm Transparency Project. Ms Peterson is listed as a speaker for the vegan Camp Out, a four-day festival at Bygrave Woods in Hertfordshire which includes talks from vegan activists such as Paul McCartney's ex-wife, Heather Mills. The GoFundMe campaign is being run by Ms Peterson's mother, Sally, and as of Saturday morning had raised more than $2000 to a target of $5500, with donations ranging from $20 to as large as $300. The festival website describes Ms Peterson as a WA-based animal activist 'known for her bold and attention-grabbing approach' with a 'controversial style which often includes civil disobedience'. Ms Peterson is most well-known for protests staged outside restaurants and agricultural shows, and according to her own social media have resulted in 30 police move-on orders, three restraining orders, and 17 convictions.
