Prince William and Kate Middleton are moving to a new $5.5 million mansion called Forest Lodge by Christmas, and the move is already full of drama.
For starters, the couple have made the divisive decision to make Forest Lodge their "forever home" and abandon Buckingham Palace when William becomes King. On top of chatter surrounding that decision, they evicted multiple families who were living nearby the property due to privacy concerns.
And speaking of William and Kate's neighbors to-be, the Daily Mail chatted to a couple nearby residents who haven't been evicted by the couple, and they have some concerns. Namely, that the area is very public and William and Kate won't actually have any privacy.
One neighbor named Jane told the outlet, "I welcome them. But I hope the public allow them to live there quietly as a family. It's a less private spot than their previous home - from what I know about the location. So I'd hate for people to always be going past and saying, 'Oh, that's where they live.' They have young children after all. They deserve privacy."
She enthusiastically added, "William and Kate are lovely. They're young. They're family-orientated. They're always with their children. It's a new style of monarchy. They'd like to be treated as normal people."
A source previously told the Daily Mail that a normal-ish life is what Wills and Kate are hoping for, saying, "They want to continue to do the school run, even if they are king and queen."
