Prince William and Princess Kate, who moved into their ‘forever home’ Forest Lodge last November, are once again preparing for a major change in their living conditions.
It is understood that the Windsor home is expected to be their residence even after William ascends the throne and will not move into Buckingham Palace when the time comes. However, the couple appear to have different plans for Kensington Palace.
Following an alarming incident that took place in William and Kate’s former apartment at Kensington Palace, a review of the Crown Estate is being carried out. It was their primary residence from October 2013 to August 2022, but the family still uses it from time to time.
According to DailyMails Richard Eden, “tighter security measures” are being planned and the “outdated” security near the residence will be upgraded.
“The estate is seeking planning permission to install temporary vehicle barriers outside the palace ahead of long-term measures to mitigate hostile vehicles,” the reported noted.
William and Kate rarely used their former home in Kensington, but it still belongs to them. Earlier this year, 39-year-old intruder Derek Egan was jailed for trespassing on the grounds of Kensington Palace on two separate days in the run-up to last Christmas.
And while no major robbery took place, it did raise alarm bells for the safety of senior members of the royal family.
