Prince William Kate Plan Move Windsor Amid Royal Tensions Andrew Nearby

Prince William and Kate Middleton are preparing to move from Adelaide Cottage, their cozy family home since 2022, to Forest Lodge, a historic Georgian mansion in Windsor Great Park which will be their primary residence even after William becomes king. Adelaide Cottage, with nearly two centuries of royal history, has been cherished for its quaint charm and was chosen to offer the children a more rural, normal upbringing away from central London hustle. The couple has embraced a modern royal lifestyle, doing chores themselves and limiting staff to maintain normalcy for their family. Meanwhile, tensions within the royal family persist as William and Kate reportedly want to "banish" Prince Andrew, who currently resides nearby at the Royal Lodge, and are considering excluding him from significant royal events such as King Charles' funeral. This move signals a shift toward a more modern monarchy and a distancing from traditional royal controversies. Prince George's christening also reflected this modern approach, with a mix of tradition and the choice of primarily non-royal godparents.
