The Prince and Princess of Wales have moved house.
Prince William and his wife Catherine spent the half term break relocating from Adelaide Cottage to Forest Lodge, also on the Windsor estate, with their three children, Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, nine, and seven-year-old Princess Louis.
According to the Telegraph, the family had planned to relocate by Christmas but building work was completed earlier than expected and their belongings were gradually transferred to their new home.
William and Catherine see the move as a fresh start following a "brutal" three years since they left Kensington Palace for Windsor, with the family having to deal with the death of Queen Elizabeth, the cancer diagnoses of the princess and King Charles, and revelations about their rift with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in Prince Harry's book Spare.
A source said: “Moving gives them an opportunity for a fresh start and a new chapter; an opportunity to leave some of the more unhappy memories behind."
The red-bricked Georgian mansion boasts eight bedrooms, six bathrooms, a long gallery, a separate apartment for staff, a large pond and a tennis court, and the couple plan to remain there even after William is crowned king.
The source added: “This is a move for the long-term. It is the family’s intention to stay in their new home after reign change.”
