Prince William and Kate Middleton have officially moved into their new residence, Forest Lodge, marking a significant transition for the family. The couple has vacated Adelaide Cottage in Windsor's Home Park and taken up residence in the Grade II-listed mansion, which boasts eight bedrooms. The move coincided with the half-term break for their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. The family had aimed to complete the relocation by Bonfire Night, and they are now reportedly settling into their new home. This change is viewed as a fresh start for the family, particularly following Kate's recovery from cancer. Meanwhile, Prince William is preparing for a solo trip to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, for his annual Earthshot Prize Awards. However, the Wales family’s new home places them in closer proximity to Prince Andrew, William's uncle, who resides at Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park. The two properties are approximately 1.4 miles apart. Andrew has agreed to vacate Royal Lodge for a new residence on the King's private Sandringham estate in Norfolk, effective in the New Year. This decision follows the stripping of his titles by King Charles amid the ongoing Epstein scandal. William has been supportive of the King's actions regarding Andrew. The former prince has faced serious allegations from Virginia Giuffre, who accused him of sexual assault when she was a teenager, a claim he denies. In preparation for the Wales family's move, an exclusion zone was established around Forest Lodge in September. Local residents expressed frustration over the permanent closure of nearby Cranbourne Gate and Cranbourne car park. Previously, residents within half a mile could apply for keys to the gate for an annual fee of £110. Additional fencing has been erected along parts of the 2.3-mile perimeter surrounding the 150-acre no-go zone. Trespassing in this protected area is a criminal offence under the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act (SOCPA) 2005. The Wales family also owns Anmer Hall, a 10-bedroom mansion on the Sandringham estate, as well as Apartment 1A in Kensington Palace, London.
