Prince William’s decision to move his family to Forest Lodge reflects his desire to live a more normal life over a royal.
According to the royal expert Jennie Bond, the prince of Wales wants to create a stable and private home life with Kate Middleton and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
The Prince and Princess of Wales is preparing to leave Adelaide Cottage later in the year and settles permanently at Forest Lodge, a residence in Windsor Estate.
Talking with Mirrored, Bond explained that William wants to raise his children in a more grounded environment in line with his vision of “Royalty with a little R.”
“William is focused on creating a stable and private family life: the kind he never had when he grew up. And so he will keep his family firmly rooted,” she said.
“He has already defined the way he wants to do things: He calls it royalty with a little R. and I think a ‘forever’ home in Forest Lodge is in line with the philosophy,” Bond explained.
“I don’t think William will beat an eyelid to break certain royal traditions,” she said. “He will not live in a palace or castle and he has found out to do things differently.”
“Living in a house – albeit a pretty big house like Forest Lodge is – will give his family a much more normal life and what I’m sure will stand them in good condition.”
