Prince William and family are moving to Forest Lodge on the Windsor estate, prompting uncertainty about the future of Buckingham Palace.

Luckily, Forest Lodge, the 328-year-old mansion in Windsor Great Park, looks an absolutely ideal spot for the family of five to begin again, with plenty of greenery surrounding it (something the Princess has routinely said is important to her) and more than enough room for the three royal children.

It’s all in keeping with William not wanting to be a drain on the public purse and living as ordinary a life as he can, even when he is King,” a royal source said.
