William, Kate Move to Windsor as Andrew Faces Pressure

British MPs may be able to debate Prince Andrew’s conduct, the terms of his 30-room Royal Lodge tenancy and the possibility of stripping his dukedom if an opposition day is used, after the government refused to schedule such a discussion at the royal family's request. Andrew is reportedly in talks about voluntarily leaving Royal Lodge following controversy over the “peppercorn” rent but remains reluctant to give up the residence and is negotiating location and compensation with the King’s representatives. Prince William and Kate Middleton are preparing to move from Adelaide Cottage to Forest Lodge in Windsor Great Park, which will be their primary family home even after William becomes king. The move is described as bittersweet: Adelaide Cottage is a small, historic four-bedroom home cherished for its quaint charm but was renovated for comfort and sometimes proved impractical. William and Kate are said to want Andrew effectively banished — partly because Royal Lodge sits close to Forest Lodge — and reports suggest William may bar him from major future events, including the king’s funeral. The couple’s modern approach to family life and public duties, from limiting staff to choosing mainly non‑royal godparents for Prince George, underscores their intent to reshape aspects of the modern monarchy.
