It’s a royal move.
Prince William and Kate Middleton, both 43, are relocating to a new family home with their three kids, Prince George,12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7.
“The Wales family will move house later this year,” a spokesperson at Kensington Palace confirmed to People on Aug. 16.
The royal couple moved to their current Adelaide Cottage home in Berkshire in 2022 to be close to their children’s Lambrook School.
Now, they are reportedly relocating nearby to a $21 million eight-bedroom property called Forest Lodge in Windsor Great Park.
“Windsor has become their home,” a royal insider told the Sun. “However, over the last few years while they have lived at Adelaide Cottage there have been some really difficult times.”
“Moving gives them an opportunity for a fresh start and a new chapter; an opportunity to leave some of the more unhappy memories behind,” the source added.
Unlike Adelaide Cottage, William and Kate are said to see the move to Forest Lodge as a “long-term” move into their “forever home.”
The royal pair are also reportedly using their own money to pay the full cost to renovate their new dream house, and insiders claimed that they will also not have any live-in staff.
William and Kate were living at Adelaide Cottage, which is not far from Windsor Castle, when the princess was diagnosed with cancer last year.
“In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous. The surgery was successful,” Kate announced in March 2024.
“However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present,” she added at the time.
After several months of grueling chemotherapy, the Princess of Wales revealed that she was finished receiving cancer treatment in September.
“The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family,” Kate said Sept. 9. “Life as you know it can change in an instant, and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown.”
“The cancer journey is complex, scary and unpredictable for everyone, especially those closest to you,” she added.
But despite finishing treatment last year and announcing that she was in remission this past January, Kate is still struggling with her post-treatment recovery.
“You put on a sort of brave face, stoicism through treatment. Treatment’s done, then it’s like, ‘I can crack on, get back to normal,’ but actually, the phase afterwards is really, really difficult,” she said in July.
“You’re not necessarily under the clinical team any longer, but you’re not able to function normally at home as you perhaps once used to,” William’s wife added last month.
