(NewsNation) — Kate Middleton and Prince William will be moving into their “forever home” in the coming weeks, according to People Magazine.

The Prince and Princess of Wales, along with their children, have scheduled early November for when they plan to settle into their new residence, Forest Lodge in Windsor, England.

The new home boasts eight bedrooms, a ballroom and a tennis court, according to Town & Country, and is reportedly larger than Adelaid Cottage, the family’s previous home since 2022. Forest Lodge was built in the 1770s and was bought by the Crown Estate in 1829. In 2001, the property underwent a $2 million renovation. 

The family’s move to Forest Lodge led to the displacement of two families in the area from their cottages earlier this summer, People reported.

“They were told to move out. I guess they were given somewhere else, but they were told they had to move,” a source told the Daily Mail. “They were not expecting it. Those houses are very close to the lodge, so they’re not going to want any Tom, Dick or Harry living in those houses, if there are going to be royals there.” 

The couple plans to stay at Forest Lodge when William becomes king.  

Kate and William leaving behind home with bad memories

The move to Forest Lodge allows the family a fresh start and a new chapter.

Shortly after moving into Adelaide Cottage in August 2022, the family suffered the loss of William’s grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, the following month. Elizabeth’s passing came a day after the couple’s children had started at a new school.

“Moving gives them an opportunity for a fresh start and a new chapter; an opportunity to leave some of the more unhappy memories behind,” a source told The Sun.  

In March 2024, Kate revealed she was diagnosed with cancer and was undergoing preventative chemotherapy, adding that she and William were doing their best to process the news for their family.
