Prince William set for big move as he reshapes the future of monarchy
Prince William reportedly plans to break with royal tradition by not living at Buckingham Palace when he becomes king.
Instead, the Prince of Wales will make Forest Lodge his family’s permanent home, reported Radar Online.
Unlike Queen Elizabeth II, who spent most of her reign at the palace, and following King Charles’ approach of using it mainly as an office, William intends to the palace for official duties.
Speaking with the publication, a source said William and Kate Middleton prefer a more grounded lifestyle for their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
“William believes the monarchy shouldn’t revolve around grand palaces anymore. He wants his children to stay grounded and aware of how ordinary families live,” the insider said.
“Forest Lodge is meant to be their permanent home, even after he becomes king,” they continued.
“It would really surprise people how normal life is in their household. The children set the table, clear up after meals, and help keep things tidy.
“They don’t get any special treatment – everyone’s expected to pitch in.”
They went on to note that the Buckingham Palace is a “workplace and huge office space now,” adding, “No one wants to live in their office – and William seems determined to reshape what royal family life looks like in today’s world.”
A senior royal aide said, “This move is meant to be permanent. It’s focused on creating a family home, not on building a royal empire.”
Actress, comedian, and talk show host Sherri Shepherd joins “CBS Mornings Plus” to discuss her new children’s book “The Sunshine Queens,” a story about friendship, teamwork, and showing up for one another—even on the busiest days.

‘Kiss of the Spider Woman’ director says Jennifer Lopez has ‘wonderful eye for everything’
Jennifer Lopez has received immense praise from the director-writer of the Kiss of the Spider Woman.
In an interview with People Magazine, Bill Condon praised Lopez who is star and producer of the film.
Condon said, “The thing is, she knows so much about everything.”
Adding that Lopez had a lot of knowledge about “musical performance, choreographers, dance, so she always had a wonderful eye for everything that was going on and casting everything.”
He said that the Atlas star was a “great sounding board.”
Condon revealed that Diego Luna, who stars alongside Lopez, “came into this as a non-dancer, and he’s a great, great serious actor.”
“But, you know, he shared his insecurity with Jennifer and she gave him a wonderful note: ‘You’re a great actor, play the part of Gene Kelly,'” Condon added.
Moreover, Condon said that the cast and crew “saw her take him under her wing. And then slowly, as the movie progressed, they would just spend more time together talking about stuff and it was beautiful to watch.”
Kiss of the Spider Woman was premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival and hit theaters on October 10, 2025.
As Jennifer Lopez stars and produces the film, her ex-husband Ben Affleck serves as executive producer alongside his best friend Matt Damon.
