Kate Middleton and Prince William's new home will give them a chance for a new start after a 'brutal' year and a series of challenges, PEOPLE understands

Prince William and Kate Middleton’s new royal abode will serve them and their three children for years to come. The Prince and Princess of Wales are gearing up to bid farewell to their Adelaide Cottage residence,

Prince William and Kate Middleton intend to move from the four-bedroom Adelaide Cottage on the Windsor estate to another property in Windsor, Forest Lodge, by Christmas of this year. In doing so, the Prince and Princess of Wales have found their “forever home”—which includes staying there even after William takes the throne someday.
