Prince William and family are moving to Forest Lodge on the Windsor estate, prompting uncertainty about the future of Buckingham Palace.

Prince William and Kate Middleton’s move to Forest Lodge later this year - their reported “forever home“- is about putting the needs of their family first. Still, some royal critics are raising concerns about what this means for the future of the monarchy.

Luckily, Forest Lodge, the 328-year-old mansion in Windsor Great Park, looks an absolutely ideal spot for the family of five to begin again, with plenty of greenery surrounding it (something the Princess has routinely said is important to her) and more than enough room for the three royal children.

While the Prince of Wales wants to put his family first, “the role of the monarch is one where duty has to come first,” Robert Jobson said.

The outlet also suggested that Forest Lodge is a "considerable upgrade" from Adelaide Cottage. Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis's new home includes a "chandelier-lit ballroom, tennis court, Venetian windows, and extensive grounds," per the publication.
