The Prince and Princess of Wales, along with their three children, are preparing to move into an eight-bedroom mansion later this year, described as their “forever home” and a place for a new beginning.

Families Asked to Vacate Nearby Homes

According to reports, two families living in cottages close to the property were asked to leave to make way for the move. The cottages, originally converted from Forest Lodge’s stables, were believed to have been rented through the Crown Estate.

The Mail on Sunday reported that tenants were “surprised” by the request, though no formal eviction notices were issued. Instead, they were relocated to similar accommodation within the sprawling 4,800-acre Windsor Great Park.

“They were told to move out,” one source said. “I suppose they were given other places to stay, but it wasn’t something they expected. Those houses are right next to the lodge, and with royals moving in, they don’t want just anyone living that close.”
