Kate Middleton, Prince William and their children are moving to Forest Lodge later this year, and two families living in cottages near the residence were asked to vacate and have since relocated ahead of the royals' move.

But soon after the family started to unpack, things changed again. Queen Elizabeth died, just as Kate Middleton and Prince William landed in the dwelling. “It was not exactly the settling-in period they had hoped for,” a source said of that period in the Waleses’ lives.

The royals and their children will relocate to the eight-bedroom Forest Lodge in Windsor in pursuit of a "fresh start," a royal source told NBC News.
