Windsor Remains The Forever Home For Kate Middleton & Prince William
The Prince and Princess of Wales will not move into Buckingham Palace. Instead, the royal couple have chosen to stay permanently at their ‘Windsor estate’. Elsewhere, there has been a massive taxpayer-funded makeover of the historic 775-room London residence.
Despite that, Kate and William are committed to prioritising a normal upbringing for their children. The family had moved to Forest Lodge in Windsor last year as they wanted a ‘nature-filled’ environment for their three growing children. And according to experts, the property is a deliberate shift towards long-term stability and privacy.
Hence, Kate and William want this residence as a permanent base. In fact, this way the couple ensure that the children enjoy open green spaces and regular routines away from London. A palace insider revealed that the London headquarters will handle official state business. However, the family wants to avoid a fishbowl lifestyle inside a castle.
Also, there were recent property reports that revealed that the couple privately fund their tenancy by paying standard market rent to the Crown Estate. Observers say that staying settled in Windsor is keeping the family close to supportive maternal relatives.
Buckingham Palace Shifts To Corporate HQ

Also, this shift has received mixed reactions from design experts. They worry that treating the iconic landmark purely as an office will stripping away its historic magic. The family is keeping the London as a working hub for state receptions and diplomatic events.
