Prince William and Princess Kate are making headlines as they prepare to move from Adelaide Cottage to their new residence, Forest Lodge, later this year. This shift marks a significant upgrade for the royal couple, who have been eyeing various historic properties, including Fort Belvedere, a Gothic Revival mansion in Windsor Great Park.

- Eyeing historic Fort Belvedere property
- Fort Belvedere leased by Galen Weston family
- Moving to Forest Lodge as "forever home"

While Fort Belvedere once captivated King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson, it has been leased by the family of late Canadian billionaire Galen Weston since the 1980s. Reports suggest that the Weston family renewed their lease earlier this year, making the property unavailable for the royals. As of 2025-08-17 22:22:00, William and Kate are set to embrace their “forever home” at Forest Lodge, a stunning 300-year-old estate.
This move raises intriguing questions about royal living and the evolving needs of modern monarchy. Why did they choose Forest Lodge over other historic properties? What does this signify for their family life?
- Forest Lodge features luxurious amenities, including a ballroom and tennis court.
- The home is conveniently located near Lambrook School, attended by their three children.
- The renovations will be privately funded by the royal couple.
As the royal couple embarks on this new chapter, it will be fascinating to see how their choice of home influences their public image and family dynamics in the years to come.
