  • The Prince and Princess of Wales, William and Kate, have moved into their new "forever home," Forest Lodge, an eight-bedroom mansion in Windsor Great Park.
  • The relocation took place during their children's half-term, with the family aiming to be settled by Bonfire Night, marking a fresh start after Kate's recovery from cancer.
  • Their new residence temporarily places them in closer proximity to Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, who is expected to vacate Royal Lodge for Sandringham in the New Year.
  • William reportedly supported the King's decision regarding Andrew's relocation, following the stripping of his royal titles amid the Epstein scandal.
  • An exclusion zone and additional fencing were established around Forest Lodge prior to their move, leading to some local frustration over permanent gate closures.
