The greatest trick the royalist devil ever tried to pull was convincing anyone that the Princess of Wales has a say in what happens within the Windsor clan. Please. That’s pure Middleton PR. Not even Kensington Palace tries to convince people of that, and that’s technically Kate’s office. So it was funny to me that some unnamed source told People Magazine that Kate and Queen Camilla deserve credit for the banishment of Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. The source claimed that there was “a push from Camilla and Catherine” and a woman’s touch on the king’s statement. BS. What’s also funny is that now Andrew will be living close to William and Kate’s favorite of their ten forever homes: Anmer Hall, on the Sandringham estate. W&K go to Norfolk constantly. William enjoys larping as a Turnip Toff and Kate just prefers being in Norfolk, in general. Well, now Uncle Andy will be able to stop by Anmer at any time, right? What’s also pretty funny is that Will and Kate are officially moved-in to Forest Lodge, which means they’ll spend their first two months at their latest forever home just down the road for Andrew and Sarah too.
The Prince and Princess of Wales have moved into their new “forever” home, making them temporarily closer neighbours with the disgraced Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. The Telegraph can reveal the couple and their three children relocated from Adelaide Cottage over half term and are now settling into their new abode, Forest Lodge, where they plan to remain after William becomes King.
For a short time, they will be close neighbours of the former Duke of York, whose Royal Lodge mansion is just a two-mile hop across Windsor Great Park. Prince William did not attend the meetings last week as Buckingham Palace finally moved to strip his uncle of his titles and force him out of his grand home on the Crown Estate. But his closest aides were kept abreast of developments and William “fully supported” the King’s decision.
The heir to the throne had long made clear that he felt a harder line should be taken on Andrew and that he did not want the debacle dragging over into his own reign. The Waleses were also said to be concerned about the Windsor estate being tainted by association with the former prince. Having decided to make Forest Lodge their long-term family home, it suits the couple to be geographically distanced from Andrew and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, who will move out in January.
The red-bricked Georgian mansion, once described as a “very substantial house in one of the loveliest settings in the country”, is a notable step up from their former home, the more modest, four-bedroomed Adelaide Cottage. It boasts eight bedrooms and six bathrooms, a long gallery, a separate staff flat, a tennis court and a large pond. The house is protected by a ha-ha, a sunken fence commonly installed in landscaped gardens in the 18th century to give the illusion of an unbroken view while providing boundaries for grazing livestock.
The move was announced in August and the Prince and Princess initially planned to relocate by Christmas. But building work was completed earlier than expected and the family’s belongings were gradually transferred to the newly renovated property, which is protected by a large security cordon.
First of all, it sounds like William and Kate were not actually in Windsor to oversee the move into Forest Lodge. Please, they have people for that! Secondly, “Prince William did not attend the meetings last week…but his closest aides were kept abreast of developments and William ‘fully supported’ the King’s decision.” Even more evidence that the Middleton-Waleses were on vacation for the past two weeks, Huevo was too lazy to attend the meetings about banishing Andrew. I thought William was “ruthless”? I thought he was rage-shrieking about his uncle 24-7? And he didn’t give a sh-t enough to go to the meetings? Last thing… so, why isn’t Kate going to Rio for Earthshot again? We were told she couldn’t go because she had to organize the move into Forest Lodge. Well, the move happened. So what’s her excuse now? Let me guess, she has to organize her new Wiglet Room as she stares wistfully out on the 150 acres she stole from a public park.

The two lazies need that property they are greedy . Keen can get close to nay cha
She will be busy setting up her Meghan mood board.
It probably has its own wing at this “forever home”
What about those school runs
Given that Charles is the one paying for Andrew, it really doesn’t matter what the other three advised; it was Charles’s decision.
Not necessarily. Unless Charles is planning to bequeath substantial funs to Andrew in his will, the annual payments will have to continue out of the Duchy of Lancaster, which means King William.
Exactly @Eurydice Andrew can’t rely upon Will ‘s goodwill unless a lifetime guarantees the annuity beyond KC’s reign!
Just like paying the 12 million settlement was the Queen’s decision, moving Andrew to Sandringham and supporting him is Charles’s decision. William can say what he wants, but Charles is not going to delegate any power to William during his lifetime. It is only PR to pretend that the next in line has a say. Emily Maitlis more than confirmed this and she is not rota but has excellent sources.
William is on holiday as he always is.
Taking away paedo’s title is like taking away a credit card but leaving the account intact. Only an idiot will believe this performative nonsense.
Plus ; Willnots anxiety about his uncles ‘mental health’ gmafb. They had no care for the mental wellbeing of the teenagers he raped which they have known about for over 14 years. They had no care for Megan’s mental or physical health when they fed lies to their sycophants in the media causing death threats to her and her unborn children.
This persists to this day. This whole family are rotten to the core and they and their enablers will be held to account if there is any justice in this world.
Soooooo what have they been doing for the past three weeks? Not engagements, not attending meetings that would preclude them from engagements, and apparently not moving everything on one day since things have been ” gradually transferred” over.
And I suppose now, Kate can’t go to Rio because she needs to unpack all the U-Haul boxes? These two are a mess. Which would be fine, if they weren’t getting millions of pounds to be uninspiring bores.
Will be interesting to see how they pretend who really was in charge of all the decisions when they all have to be together in a few weeks. Can’t wait to see what stunts are pulled.
William doesn’t even want to pretend he’s married when he’s in Brazil.
I find it hard to imagine that Camilla would team up with keen or keen has ant real influence with c and c.
I see a future where irreparable mold will make Forest uninhabitable, and they’ll HAVE to move to Royal Lodge. Though I’ll never understand what would be so awful about living in Windsor forking Castle.
Camilla briefed separately saying that supporting Andrew made her support of domestic violence victims charities difficult. She doesn’t give a shit about Kate.
“The red-bricked Georgian mansion, once described as a “very substantial house in one of the loveliest settings in the country”, is a notable step up from their former home, the more modest, four-bedroomed Adelaide Cottage.”
We are as glamorous as Meghan and Harry! We’re better! We have moreee!!!!!
Greedy losers.
Lol, but still not as many bathrooms.
😂😂😂
It leaves out the other keen mansions. No way was scoot living in Adelaide cottage.
Exactly my thoughts also…
Andrew Mountbatten Windsor is just too long winded, go back to calling him Andrew.
It is very hard to believe that Kate is that bothered by Andrew’s present.
BTW ‘early years’ what about the school children’s access to nature. It seems the only children that Kate is really interested in are her own.
Lainey has been calling him “Just Andrew.”
I like that. Hadn’t seen it.
Im sure some secret renovations will start at Royal Lodge after AMW decamps. At some point, maybe after Wm becomes king, Forest Lodge will develop black mold or some other catastrophe and the family will have to move out to repair it, and conveniently, Royal Lodge will be available.
The neighbours are “two miles” away. They are in extensive park. Two miles…. You have to walk about 40 minutes between the two mansions. These royals are out of touch and should be removed. The whole class system is so unhealthy.
I’ve heard ex-Prince Andrew. It reminds everyone that it was as a prince of royal blood that he transgressed and that it was the royal family and institution that protected and covered up for him. He is the royals’ stain.
I still believe that yes Can’t moved into Forest Lodge but Peg did not. I call BS that Horsilla and Can’t had anything to do with what Chuckles did to the pedo. Nice try.
I think Charles was wise to give it some thought, after all, if it all goes wrong, he is the one who will have to carry the can. The media can come up with loads of ideas but with no responsibility.
@ Susancollins, that is exactly what I was thinking. Wherever Willie is staying, and possibly at Forest Lodge, it is in anticipation of his coming move into Royal Lodge as his permanent home. And he has his children close by, and Kast-off-Kate is in a not too shabby home, in “nay cha” as Tessa delightfully says. And a not too shabby settlement home. I wondered how they would spin the separation, and maybe it will be that Kast-off is just not up to the task; or she got lost in nay cha and they are still looking for her.
I predicted this earlier – they went on vacation at which time the remainder of their things, which I am sure was mostly personal possessions, not furniture and the like because they undoubtedly got all new furniture (remember we heard of Kate in the Royal warehouses on Windsor looking for a dining table) were moved into Royal lodge and when they got back they simple walked in
With everything unpacked and perfect, not a moving box in sight.
The second picture. hahahahahahaha! Was that intentional?
Alright, so in this Game of Thrones: Housing Edition, we now have AC and FC lying empty, RL soon to be empty and WC essentially used as an office. All those empty homes and still 150 acres were land-grabbed, a kids’ nature center was closed and people were evicted. All for the Wales’s new home. Disturbing to say the least.
Yep.. the Willie and Kate in charge years are going to be a death knell for the monarchy
@Jais – and not one member of the British Royal Family living in central London.
Charles’s home is Highgrove no-one has a problem with that as long as it’s a weekend home once his recuperation there whilst recovering from cancer plays out; B Palace otherwise needs its sovereign in residence flag to be seen in the week; the lazy W should be living in K Palace during the working week, week-ending at Windsor Castle. Forest Lodge being KM’s separation & retirement home.
Clarence House can be turned into an expansive and much needed museum & tribute to QE2 & Philip, The Queen Mother & George VI, and P Margaret.
It’s hilarious to me that the Waleses consider someone living two miles away from them to be their neighbor.
Good point.
So, William didn’t even attend the meetings with Charles about stripping his Uncle’s titles. We know Harry would have been there supporting his sick father. Well Charles you reap what you sow.
If only they had waited a few months they could be moving into RL. Why the urgency to move out of AC I wonder.
I agree with those who think that Charles is making long term plans —so that William won’t get to. If Camilla gets Royal Lodge and Kate gets Forest Lodge, William likely won’t challenge that in the future. Charles is getting his ducks in a row while he has the energy to do so. I also think that Charles and William want to make sure that Kate doesn’t get any claim to Royal Lodge — the Queen Mother’s long time home, and one of the homes where QEll lived with her parents.
How hard would it be for William to take over Royal Lodge and nobody report on it? I’ve read that it’s in major disrepair because Andrew wasn’t keeping up the maintenance, so nobody will ask any questions if construction starts after Andrew leaves. And who else is going to want to move into the place now that it’s been disgraced by the former tenant? I think “it’ll all be for the best” when William moves in because [fill in the reason].
Kate and William never alter their vacation plans so all this chaos with Andrew was handled by Charles. William is just getting his friends to place pretend briefs.
Emily Maitlis spoke to James OBrien on LBC and lays it out pretty clear in terms of when decisions were made. Meanwhile William only pretended to care about Andrew’s mental health.
Also these two lazy sloths made sure to promote their move to a new house, but have they said anything yet about the damage to Jamaica due to the hurricane? It’s been days. Or do they not care because their disaster tour hurt their feelings?
Why did they need to swipe 150 acres of public parkland? 150 acres!! Can you imagine the outrage if that was H&M? Even 50 acres would be alot of space between them and the “commoners”. I can’t get over that. I would feel so guilty & greedy hoarding all the land to myself, especially when the public actually used it for walking. Anyway, I did think that their previous 4 bedroom home sounded kind of a small for a future King. Their new home has some disturbing background though about slaves. I could not in good conscience live in a place where events such as those took place.
Kaiser, you know that Kate needs to usher in a new wiglet gofer. I mean come on, who else will slap those bad boys on her head and say all button up dear .And it’s terribly peasant of all of you to expect katie and willy to move their actual belongings, no no , that’s peasant work . We willy and Kate , the most Royal and important of all royals don’t believe in work, it’s beneath us. We believe In the perks , not the work .
Are they or aren’t they? Living together or not? Do they vacation together?
Why do they keep moving? Is this just a way for them to call dibs on crown property (and the funds to refurbish it)? I just don’t get why they’re constantly moving when they have a home they love already (Anmer).
It’s being reported that RL needs £1 million pounds worth of repairs. Does this suggest they will live in FL until RL is fully renovated? Questions really need to be asked about land grabber Will ‘s expensive lifestyle funded by UK taxpayer. We are just awaiting a new budget from the Chancellor, why are pensioners and the disabled being targeted instead of proper scrutiny of royal finances.
Hear, hear.
Norfolk doesn’t have the concentration of private schools and boarding schools that Berkshire does. It is also 3.5 hours from Kate’s parents. Now, why they keep moving around London and Windsor is a different question.
As usual, as with almost everything they tell the public, the royals lied to the public about this move, even while the actual move was happening. First they said the move would be in December. Then they said the move would be in November. Now we hear the move already happened over the last two weeks in October. 🤷🏽♀️
No wonder the much of British public doesn’t take anything they say seriously. The Windsor brand has lost its mystique and majesty.
I think that “preparing for the move to Forest Lodge” was going to be the Wales’ excuse for a very light work schedule this fall.
I’m surprised they’re not using the Kate Carole (with an “e”) Extravaganza as the excuse for not going to Rio.
Hope her new mansion has room for a piano for her to practice on. She needs something to draw the attention to herself (and we all know she won’t make the easiest move, which would be to cut her hair).
Very convenient for WanK to move into Forest Lodge AND go on holidays while all this nonsense with Andrew is going on. Andrew seems to have come out of this very well- security, a home, and a guarantee income for the rest of his natural life. He will be able to hunt and ride to his heart’s content and travel and do shady stuff away from the spotlight that is always on Windsor and London. There is no accountability or justice for the victims. Charles can’t even really remove Andrews’ ducal title with the help of Parliament.
This feels like BP pushing back in William’s claims that he “masterminded” the whole Andrew situation. As we knew they would!
I love how this source pretty effortlessly swipes the legs out from under the Wales – No, they were even part of the negotiations with Andrew. They were on vacation, but we did inform them once the details were already worked out and they agreed. Obviously, this is an effort to keep William from complaining about the deal his father and uncle made, and how things will be different when he gets to be king!
The piece de resistance, though, is that they completely undercut Keen’s excuse for not attending Earthshot, spilling the beans that actually, the Wales have already moved in to Forest Lodge, so the excuse that Kate will be singlehandedly schlepping all of the family’s possessions to royal lodge won’t wash. Maybe she’ll suddenly discover that Charlotte needs some help with her school exams?
I always love it when BP lays the smackdown on the Wales’ amateur press office.
