Privacy has been a major priority. The home sits in a secluded part of Windsor Great Park, with newly installed gates, advanced CCTV systems, tall wooden fencing, and additional trees to shield the family from view. An exclusion zone spanning roughly 150 acres has also been established to further protect their privacy.
Despite its peaceful, countryside setting, Forest Lodge remains conveniently located — less than an hour from Bucklebury Manor, where Kate’s parents live, just four miles from the children’s school, Lambrook, and within easy reach of Kensington Palace in London.
Before moving in, William and Kate funded extensive renovations themselves, including new windows, doors, and the removal of some internal walls to better suit family living. And while the property is undeniably grand, experts say Kate’s approach to interior design is refreshingly understated.
“Kate has a very defined style,” Nicholl tells OK!. “It’s classic yet contemporary, with soft, neutral tones. Just like her wardrobe, her interiors reflect timeless elegance rather than extravagance.”
