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."

But soon after the family moved to their new home, things changed again. Queen Elizabeth died, just as Kate Middleton and Prince William landed in the dwelling. “It was not exactly the settling-in period they had hoped for,” a source said of that period in the Waleses’ lives.

William and Kate and their young children will make use of the eight-bedroom mansion and use it as a "fresh start" for the family as they move on from painful memories
