Kate Middleton and Prince William will move to Forest Lodge, a Georgian mansion built in the 1770s, for a “fresh start” before Christmas this year. According to People magazine, the Prince and Princess of Wales plan to live in the mansion even after William has acceded to the throne. Here is a look at William and Kate’s desire for country life at Forest Lodge, Windsor.

No live-in staff at Forest Lodge

Forest Lodge, which is currently being referred to as Kate Middleton and Prince William’s “forever home”, is an upgrade from Adelaide Cottage, reports People. As per the outlet, Forest Lodge will not have live-in staff, and Middleton and William will also pay market rent for the famous estate.

Ingrid Seward, author of My Mother & I, told the outlet that the Prince and Princess of Wales loved the Windsor environment. “They like it around Windsor, and they’ve established themselves there,” he said.

Access to country life
