The Prince and Princess of Wales are set to move into a new home in Berkshire.

William and Catherine will move to eight-bedroom Forest Lodge in Windsor Great Park, with their children George, Charlotte and Louis.

Their current main home, Adelaide Cottage, is a short distance away and the children attend the nearby Lambrook School.

A Kensington Palace spokesperson confirmed: "The Wales family will move house later this year."

The royal couple announced they were moving from Kensington Palace to their current four-bedroom property, Adelaide Cottage, in August 2022.

They also have homes at Anmer Hall in Norfolk and Apartment 1A in Kensington Palace.

In 2001, Forest Lodge underwent £1.5m restoration works and was put on the rental market for £15,000 a month.

Images inside the home taken at the time showed original stonework, elaborate plaster cornices and ceiling decoration, plus a half-barrel vaulted hallway ceiling.
