LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM: The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Kate Middleton, are reportedly making major changes to their living arrangements amid continued unrest within the royal family — largely sparked by ongoing controversies surrounding Prince Andrew.
According to British media reports, the royal couple has accelerated plans to relocate from Adelaide Cottage to Forest Lodge in Windsor Great Park, an eight-bedroom estate offering more privacy and security. The decision follows concerns about Andrew’s close proximity at Royal Lodge, a situation that has long been a source of discomfort for the couple.
To ensure tighter control over their surroundings, William and Kate have introduced sweeping new security measures, including a two-mile “no-go zone” around the property and expanded surveillance systems. Locals have reportedly expressed frustration over the sudden restrictions, saying the move limits public access to previously open areas.
Sources close to the royals reveal that the Duke and Duchess view the relocation as part of a “new chapter” for their family — a chance to step away from both the public glare and internal royal tensions. Their new home, Forest Lodge, is said to better accommodate their children’s growing needs while offering the stability and privacy they desire.
Despite public criticism, the couple’s team insists the decision is purely about family well-being and long-term security. Still, royal watchers say it underscores a deeper divide within the monarchy, as William continues to distance his household from scandals linked to Prince Andrew.
