New life: Prince William and Kate plan to move to new home in Windsor
The Prince and Princess of Wales are set to move to a new home in Windsor. They will move to Adelaide Cottage with their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, from their home in Windsor Great Park, according to a source close to the royal family.
The move represents a “fresh start” after a difficult 18 months during which Princess Catherine has been battling cancer.
“This move is a chance to put the hard times behind us and start a new chapter. It’s a chance to create more happy memories,” a source told the Daily Mail.
The couple hopes Forest Lodge will become their “forever home” and plans to stay there even after William and Kate become king and queen.
Features of the new home
eight bedrooms
The average cost of renovation in 2001 was £1.5 million, and the house had previously been offered for rent at £15,000 per month.
The house does not have a permanent staff of servants, as the couple seeks greater privacy.
The costs of improving the estate are covered by personal funds, without using the Sovereign Grant, which funds the monarchy.
The family and their daily lives
The move to Windsor in 2022 has already given the family more freedom and privacy compared to their time in London. The children are educated at Lambrook, where, according to reports, they feel comfortable.
In addition to Windsor, the family has the Anmer Hall estate in Norfolk, where they spend school holidays, while the offices remain at Kensington Palace.
Catherine and her connection to nature
Princess Catherine has repeatedly emphasized that nature has a “healing power” for her and serves as a “kind of refuge.” She expressed these thoughts during her cancer treatment and as part of the Mother Nature project, which began in May.
Prospects
The family is expected to move into Forest Lodge by Christmas. The home will be a place where they plan to create new traditions and accumulate many pleasant memories.
Catherine, Princess of Wales, has previously shared the story of her battle with cancer.
