Prince William is welcoming royal watchers into his new home with Princess Kate Middleton — sort of.
William, 43, filmed a video for the Royal British Legion’s Remembrance Assembly to celebrate Armistice Day earlier this week. Eagle-eyed fans took notice of the Prince of Wales’ new digs.
While William’s message to the young people of the U.K. was an important one, more focus was put on the gold crown molding behind him. One wall featured blue wallpaper and two framed photos. The room William was standing in also had giant red curtains. (It seems like there’s a lot of gold in this new home.)
William and Kate, also 43, officially moved out of their former home, Adelaide Cottage, to Forest Lodge in Windsor Great Park earlier this month.
Us Weekly confirmed in August that William, Kate and their three kids — Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7 — would be moving before 2026. Their new home features eight bedrooms, six bathrooms, a sunken fence for privacy, a tennis court and large pond.
“The new house marks a new era for the family,” a source told Us exclusively in August. “The decision to move into this new home is a significant one that signals independence, though it is not entirely surprising.”
The Windsor home “will allow” the couple to stay closer to their kids, who are gearing up to go off to boarding school over the next few years.
The same insider explained to Us that William and Kate “are very strict about their boundaries” and want to protect “their mental health and family life.” A past report claimed that they will stay in Forest Lodge even after William becomes king.
“To outsiders, it may seem like a big move for the royals to not live in Buckingham Palace, but to insiders, it is not surprising,” the same source told Us. “King Charles has not lived there for a long time either and prefers to spend time outside of London.”
William and Kate’s recent move came just after news broke that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor would be moving out of his home, Royal Lodge, which is also in Windsor.
“Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. His lease on Royal Lodge has, to date, provided him with legal protection to continue in residence,” a statement from Buckingham Palace read late last month. “Formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease and he will move to alternative private accommodation. These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him.”
The loss of Andrew’s prince title and the eviction from his home came as headlines continued to connect the disgraced royal family member to late billionaire sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Andrew has continued to deny the late Virginia Giuffre’s allegations of sexual assault since she first made them in 2019.
“Their Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse,” Buckingham Palace’s statement concluded.
