A Historic Property With Stunning Views

Forest Lodge, built 328 years ago, is nestled within a secluded area of the 4,800-acre estate. The property offers sweeping views across Berkshire and London. For Kate, this will be especially meaningful—she has often described nature as her personal “sanctuary.”

Renovations at the Grade II-listed home are already underway, with costs expected to be privately funded by William and Kate rather than covered by the Sovereign Grant, the state funding provided to the monarchy.

Keeping Family Life Private

In keeping with their preference for a normal family environment, the Waleses are not expected to employ live-in staff, just as they did at Adelaide Cottage. Their goal remains to maintain a private and intimate household.

According to reports, the move could take place as early as Christmas, with the family looking forward to building happy new memories together in their new home.

The couple’s decision to remain in Windsor also reflects stability for their children, who are all happily settled at Lambrook School. With George, Charlotte, and Louis thriving in their studies, the new home ensures continuity for their education and day-to-day lives.
