As Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, prepare to move out of their royal home, attention has turned to another family: the Prince and Princess of Wales. Prince William and Princess Kate Middleton moved into Forest Lodge in Windsor Great Park alongside their three children in October 2025, per a House of Commons briefing published in November 2025. The pair share Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. The briefing reads, "Their Royal Highnesses The Prince and Princess of Wales hold a 20-year non-assignable lease with The Crown Estate for Forest Lodge, commencing 5 July 2025. At the time of writing, the redacted version of the lease has not yet been published by the Land Registry. This property sits within the Windsor Estate and therefore Section 5 of the Act applies."
