The Prince and Princess of Wales have established their family residence at Forest Lodge within Windsor Great Park, completing their transition earlier than anticipated. The Georgian property, featuring eight rooms and extensive grounds, now serves as the primary home for the couple and their three children.
This relocation places the family approximately two miles from the residence currently being vacated by Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew. The proximity comes during a period of significant transition for the monarch’s brother, who is in the process of surrendering his lease on Royal Lodge following the removal of his royal titles.
Buckingham Palace has confirmed the formal procedures regarding Andrew Mountbatten Windsor’s status change and residential arrangements. The former duke will transition to privately funded accommodations at Sandringham, having been formally stripped of his titles and honors. Palace representatives emphasized these measures were necessary despite his continued denial of allegations connected to his association with the late financier Jeffrey Epstein.
The Windsor property shift represents a long-term commitment for the Wales family, with royal observers noting the residence is expected to remain their home even following future succession to the throne. The timing of these residential adjustments coincides with the monarchy’s ongoing efforts to address the complications arising from Andrew Mountbatten Windsor’s situation, which has included financial settlements and continued public scrutiny.
Sources close to the royal household indicate strong support from the Prince of Wales for the monarch’s decisions regarding his brother’s changed status within the family structure. The situation continues to evolve as arrangements are finalized for the former duke’s complete transition from royal duties and privileges.
