“EVERYONE WAS OBSESSED…”: Catherine and William Prepare to Leave Forest Lodge With George, Charlotte, Louis for Heartwarming Holiday at Anmer Hall in Norfolk

As the holiday season draws near, royal watchers are buzzing with excitement over the Prince and Princess of Wales’ annual festive traditions—and everyone was obsessed with the heartwarming glimpse of family togetherness.

Prince William and Princess Catherine, along with their three children—Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7—are preparing to depart their recently settled “forever home,” the elegant Georgian mansion Forest Lodge in Windsor Great Park, for a cherished Christmas break at Anmer Hall in Norfolk.

Having moved into Forest Lodge just last month after a challenging few years, the family is embracing the joy of the season with their traditional pilgrimage to the countryside. Anmer Hall, the 10-bedroom red-brick retreat gifted to the couple by Queen Elizabeth II as a wedding present, remains their beloved holiday haven on the Sandringham Estate.

Sources indicate that while the Waleses will join King Charles and Queen Camilla for key celebrations at nearby Sandringham House—including the iconic Christmas Day church walk—they plan to base themselves at Anmer Hall for relaxed family moments. This year holds extra significance following Princess Catherine’s remission announcement earlier in 2025, allowing the family to focus on creating lasting memories amid the Norfolk countryside’s winter charm.

At Anmer Hall, expect cozy traditions: baking sessions with the children, countryside walks, and perhaps games on the private tennis court. The home’s beautifully renovated interiors, blending classic elegance with modern touches, provide the perfect backdrop for intimate celebrations away from the public eye.

Everyone was obsessed with the warmth radiating from the Wales family this year—a reminder of resilience, love, and the simple joys of the holidays.
