Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, are expected to enjoy a particularly meaningful Christmas this year as they settle into their new Windsor home, Forest Lodge. The couple recently moved from Adelaide Cottage in Windsor Home Park to the much larger Forest Lodge, located within Windsor Great Park. Their previous home had four bedrooms, while Forest Lodge offers eight, giving the family more space as their children grow. The property has already been described by royal watchers as the Wales family’s likely long-term home.
According to royal commentator Jennie Bond, this change of setting could make the festive season feel even more special for William, Catherine and their three children. Speaking to the Mirror, the former BBC royal correspondent explained that Christmas decorations always bring excitement, but decorating a brand-new house adds an extra layer of joy. She suggested the family may spend more time than usual at Forest Lodge during the school holidays, simply because the home still feels new and exciting to them.
