William, Kate Move to Forest Lodge; Kate in Remission

Prince William and Princess Kate have moved with their three children into Forest Lodge in Windsor Great Park during the school half-term and are settling into what they have described as their “forever home.” The 18th-century, Grade II‑listed Georgian mansion — built in the 1770s — has eight bedrooms, a ballroom, a tennis court and offers more space and privacy than their previous Adelaide Cottage. The couple privately funded extensive renovations that Kate helped oversee and will pay market rent to the Crown Estate. The relocation is being framed as a fresh start after several difficult years — including the death of Queen Elizabeth II and recent illnesses in the royal family — and Kate is reported to be in remission. New security measures and restricted public access have been introduced around Forest Lodge; the family will continue without live‑in staff while long‑time carers remain nearby, and the move was completed slightly earlier than expected ahead of William’s upcoming engagements.
