Sarah Ferguson is said to have once coveted Forest Lodge—the grand estate soon to be the “forever home” of Prince William, Princess Kate, and their three children.
The eight-bedroom Georgian manor, set within Windsor Great Park and surrounded by other royal residences, has long carried allure. In 1998, two years after divorcing Prince Andrew, the Duchess of York reportedly hoped to make the 300-year-old property her fresh start.
However, her plans fell apart after Prince Philip opposed the move, according to the Mail. By 2008, Fergie instead returned to live at nearby Royal Lodge with her former husband, where she has remained ever since. Her representatives declined to comment when approached by GB News.
A Manor with Distinguished Tenants
Forest Lodge has housed several notable residents over the years. As a grace-and-favour property, it was once home to equerries and private secretaries of the monarchy. In the 1990s, Princess Margaret’s private secretary, Lord Napier, lived there.
