Royal Family Shifts Towards Modernity: Prince William and Kate Middleton to Move to Forest Lodge
Prince William and Kate Middleton, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, are set to move from Adelaide Cottage to Forest Lodge on the Windsor estate later this year. This shift towards a more modern approach in the British royal family was first reported by mirror.co.uk and pagesix.com.
The move is not just about securing more space but also a strategic decision. Prince William, who has a vision for a more modern monarchy, plans to move from Adelaide Cottage to Forest Lodge, a move that aligns with his philosophy of "royalty with a small r." This philosophy emphasizes a kingship without excessive ceremony.
Forest Lodge, an eight-bedroom residence worth around £15 million, was Prince William's childhood home. The move may be influenced by his desire for a more normal family life. Royal experts believe that William won't hesitate to break certain royal traditions to achieve this.
Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis will be moving to Forest Lodge with the royal couple. However, they will not completely give up other residences, including Apartment 1A at Kensington Palace and Anmer Hall estate in Norfolk. These residences will be used as workspaces and for ceremonial events in the future.
Despite Forest Lodge being referred to as the "Forever Home," the couple will not abandon their other properties. The royal couple's move to Forest Lodge brings some consequences, as they will still need to maintain a regular presence at Buckingham Palace for state duties.
Interestingly, William will not live in Buckingham Palace or Windsor Castle as king, marking a break with centuries-old tradition. This decision underscores the royal family's commitment to modernising its approach and creating a more private and stable family life.
The exact date of the move has not been set, but the family is expected to leave Adelaide Cottage within the year 2025. The Kensington Palace confirmed on August 16, 2025, that they will move to Forest Lodge later that same year.
The move to Forest Lodge may be a part of a plan for the future of the British monarchy. With Prince William's focus on creating a stable and private family life at their new home, the royal family seems to be embracing a new era.
