Prince William, Kate Middleton Move to Windsor Estate Amid Neighbors’ Privacy Concerns

Prince William and Princess Kate Middleton are preparing to move into Forest Lodge, an eight-bedroom mansion in Windsor, with their three children, marking what they hope will be their 'forever home.' While many neighbors in Cranbourne Hall Residential Park welcome the royal family, there are concerns about privacy due to the less secluded location compared to their previous residence, Adelaide Cottage. To address these concerns, enhanced security measures such as metal fencing with privacy screens and new shrubbery have been installed, and two nearby households were relocated to comparable Crown Estate properties to ensure the family's privacy. The couple will continue not to have live-in staff, with their children's nanny and housekeepers residing in nearby smaller homes. Residents have expressed hope that the public will respect the family's privacy, emphasizing the need to allow William and Kate to live quietly with their young children. The move reflects the couple's desire for a more family-oriented lifestyle, even as William prepares to eventually take the throne.
