00:00Truth about why Prince William and Kate Middleton still refuse to have 24-7 staff living with their family?
00:07Prince William and Kate Middleton refuse live-in staff as they prepare to move to the 8-bedroom Forest Lodge in Windsor Great Park.
00:14That arrangement will continue at Forest Lodge, despite the ample space, as the couple strive to keep their family routine private and grounded.
00:22The kids are expected to pitch in and earn their pocket money by helping out.
00:26A Palace insider said William and Kate want their children raised in a real family home, not in a palace environment.
00:33They're big on teaching responsibility from a young age.
00:36Setting the table, tidying their rooms, making their beds.
00:39It's all about keeping things normal and humble rather than privileged.
00:43Another source said Adelaide Cottage just isn't large enough for live-in staff.
00:48But even now that they're moving to Forest Lodge, choosing to keep things the same really reflects their priorities.
00:53They value privacy, routine, and a stable environment for their children.
00:59That desire for a less formal home life reflects a generational shift from previous monarchs.
01:04Queen Elizabeth II spent most of her reign at Buckingham Palace surrounded by dozens of live-in staff,
01:10while King Charles, 76, has largely treated the palace as a working office rather than a home.
01:16Sources suggest William plans to follow his father's example and will use the palace only for official duties when he becomes king.
01:22It would really surprise people how normal life is in their household, one source said.
01:28The children set the table, clear up after meals, and help keep things tidy.
01:33They don't get any special treatment. Everyone's expected to pitch in.
01:37Buckingham Palace is basically a workplace and huge office space now, a source said.
01:41No one wants to live in their office, and William seems determined to reshape what royal family life looks like in today's world.
01:47As for Forest Lodge, aides described the move as long-term and deeply personal.
01:53This move is meant to be permanent, one senior royal source said.
01:56It's focused on creating a family home, not on building a royal empire.
