Kate and William's motivations for house move after 'seriously odd' issue

Prince William andPrincess Kate will be moving from their beloved Adelaide Cottage to Forest Lodge on the Windsor estate, and royal expert Jennie Bond spoke exclusively to the Mirror about the couple’s motivation for such a drastic change. It follows reports that the Prince and Princess of Wales will likely stay in Forest Lodge whenWilliam ascends the throne, rather than move to one of the more prominent royal residences, such asBuckingham Palace.

Discussing William and Kate’s motivations behind the big move, Jennie said: “William is focused on creating a stable and private family life: the kind he never had when he was growing up. And so he wants to keep his family firmly rooted. He’s already defined the way he wants to do things: he calls it royalty with a small R. And I think a ‘forever’ home at Forest Lodge is in keeping with that philosophy.”

Kerry Katona's heartfelt message to Freddy Brazier

Meanwhile, Kerry Katona has reached out to Freddy Brazier in support after he opened up about being "hooked on drugs" and claimed it was his grandmother Jackiey Budden who contributed to the addiction. In a podcast last week, Freddy said: "I've been smoking since I was 12. I've been to rehab, I've been sectioned, I've had manic episodes, I've been in cells. There's been a real journey and it's been a tough one.”

Mum-of-five Kerry, who has battled drug addiction herself, took to her weekly New! Magazine column in support of Freddy, 20, writing: "To be honest, I know what he’s going through because I went through it myself with my mum and it’s awful. The one thing I will say to him is that, if I can get through it, then so can he. I’m out the other side but I know what it’s like being in the thick of it."
