William and Kate host thank you party

The Prince and Princess of Wales hosted a thank-you party at The York Club to salute builders and staff who sped up their move into Forest Lodge in Windsor Great Park. The family has left Adelaide Cottage — which William is said to call 'cursed' — after a half-term push to settle their children, with a Home Office-agreed security cordon now in place around the eight-bedroom Georgian home. They are funding the move and paying market rent, and plan to remain there long term. William next travels to Brazil for Earthshot events and to represent his father at COP30.
