Prince William and Kate Middleton‘s relocation to their new home will reportedly break centuries of royal tradition. Recent reports revealed that the Prince and Princess of Wales have been gearing up to move to a house in the Windsor Great Park this year, trading life in Adelaide Cottage for something more permanent in Forest Lodge. More recently, a source revealed that even when William becomes king, his family will continue to reside in the Windsor estate.
Prince William and Kate Middleton rewriting tradition with new move, says source
Rob Shuter #ShuterScoop exclusively learned that Prince William and Kate Middleton want to “modernize” a centuries-old royal tradition. A source claimed that the couple is stepping away from the traditional approach toward the monarchy with their move to a new home. William and Middleton have reportedly allocated $21 million to renovate the sprawling eight-bedroom Forest Lodge estate in Windsor Great Park as they prepare to leave Adelaide Cottage this year.
The update about the family’s living situation came on the heels of the Princess of Wales becoming cancer-free. A palace aide alleged that the move would symbolize a “fresh start” for the pair and their three children, George, Charlotte, and Louis. Moreover, their move seemingly has little to do with the “square footage,” but everything to do with “healing,” setting “roots,” and building “a home that’s truly theirs.” Reportedly, the estate won’t have any live-in staff.
Moreover, Prince William and Kate Middleton’s move to the new home will rewrite centuries of royal traditions. The source alleged that they laid it on the table that their family will not live in Buckingham Palace when William becomes king. Instead, Forest Lodge, which is currently under renovation, will remain their “home base.”
A second insider claimed that the Prince and Princess of Wales’ decision is “a break from centuries of tradition.” In addition, it communicated their desire to “modernize the monarchy — on their terms, for their kids” as they prioritize their family and privacy over centuries-old customs.
