Princess Kate’s New Royal Residence Plans
Princess Kate’s thoughtful approach as she and Prince William prepare to settle into their new home at Forest Lodge. The move is not just about changing addresses — it’s about creating a warm and stylish space for their family.
Renovations are already underway, and while the palace hasn’t revealed official details, there’s one big clue about the design direction: Kate’s collaboration with renowned interior designer Ben Pentreath. He has worked with the royal couple before, shaping the interiors of their Kensington Palace apartment and bringing new life to Anmer Hall, their Norfolk retreat.
Pentreath is admired for blending heritage charm with modern touches, often drawing inspiration from English interiors of the 18th and 19th centuries while mixing in playful hints of the 1960s and 70s. His client list — which includes big names like Liv Tyler and Sarah Jessica Parker — shows his ability to create designs that feel both classic and fresh.
At Anmer Hall, Kate worked closely with him to capture a style that balances country elegance with cozy family living. The dining room, in particular, stood out for its light, open feel and eclectic details — a reflection of Kate’s taste for spaces that are welcoming yet refined.
As Kate steps into planning mode once again, it’s likely she will continue to shape Forest Lodge with that same balance — a home that respects tradition while embracing warmth, comfort, and modern family life. This project not only highlights her eye for design but also her commitment to making every royal residence feel like a true family home.
